The low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of existing magnetic sensors limits the detection of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) in microfluidic biosensing. We present a novel microfluidic coil-based impedance detection system for quantifying magnetic particles, including Fe filings and citrate-coated Fe₃O₄ MNPs, with potential applications in magnetically guided biosensing. Unlike conventional approaches that directly measure the magnetic properties of dispersed particles, our method employs an external collector magnet to concentrate particles within a copper coil detector. The accumulated particles alter the coil’s electromagnetic response through changes in the sample’s dielectric properties, producing an amplified impedance signal proportional to sample volume. We evaluated detection performance for 1–10 mg of ferromagnetic Fe filings and citrate-coated Fe₃O₄ MNPs across a broad frequency range. Results show a strong linear correlation between particle mass and impedance change, with SNR values from 25 dB to over 45 dB, demonstrating high sensitivity and precision. Coil sensitivity was further optimized by varying the number of turns (5, 10, and 15), enabling frequency-specific customization. This approach provides a scalable, low-cost platform adaptable to polymer-coated MNPs targeting biological analytes.
