Microelectronic Device with Magnetic Excitation Wires
The invention relates to a microelectronic device (200), particularly a magnetic biosensor, comprising B/E-electrodes (21) that can generate a magnetic field (B) in a sample chamber (10). The device further comprises E-electrodes (23, 24) that can generate an electrical field (E) in the sample chamber (10) in cooperation with the B/E-electrodes (21). Thus the B/E-electrodes are used for two purposes. Electrical fields (E) in the sample chamber (10) may particularly be used for pumping and/or mixing of a fluid sample or for a stringency test of particle bindings.
