A rapid and facile signal enhancement method for detecting alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was developed using the magnetic agglomeration of ferromagnetic nanoparticles and microcantilever sensors. The resonance frequency and deflection of the cantilevers were found to be more than 10-fold greater than that before physical agglomeration of the free nanoparticles around the magnetized nanoparticles.
