Single magnetic particle dynamics in a microchannel
Abstract
Functionalized magnetic particles are used in micrototal analysis systems since they act as magnetically steered mobile substrates in microfluidic channels, and can be collected for bioanalytical processing. Here, we examine the motion of magnetic microbeads in a microfluidic flow under the influence of a nonuniform external magnetic field and characterize their collection in terms of the magnetic field strength, particle size, magnetic …
