Abstract(in English) We demonstrated a highly sensitive liquid-phase detection of biological targets using magnetic markers and HTS SQUID. The SQUID was made of a ramp-edge Josephson junction using RE123-based multilayer process, and it showed a flux noise of 7.5 μΦ_0/Hz^<1/2> in the white noise region. The 1/f noise was 14 μΦ_0/Hz^<1/2> at f=1 Hz when the SQUID was operated with AC bias mode. Using the SQUD system, we detected a biological target called biotin. In the experiment, biotins were fixed to a large polymer bead with a diameter 3.3 μm. Streptavidin-coated magnetic markers were used for the detection. The bound and unbound (free) markers were magnetically distinguished using the difference in their Brownian relaxation time, i.e., without using the washing process to separate them. The minimum detectable number of biotins was as low as 2 × 10^4 corresponding to a sensitivity of 9.5 × 10^<-19> mol/ml. This result indicates a high sensitivity of the developed method. We also show the effect of the excitation field on the signals from the free and bound markers for quantitative evaluation of immunoassay.
