Coagulation Sensors Based on Magnetostrictive Sensors Made by Ferromagnetic Amorphous Alloys for Biomedical Applications

Abstract:

Coagulation sensors are magnetostrictive sensors for measuring the time required for coagulation to take place in a liquid, as blood. Their operating principle is based on magnetostrictive delay lines (MDL), which consist of ribbons made by ferromagnetic amorphous alloys. Coagulation sensors have a significant role in biomedical, chemical engineering and environmental applications.
