Controlled Transport of Magnetic Particles Using Soft Magnetic Patterns |

| Abstract: |
Inspired by magnetic bubble memory technology, we demonstrate the temporal and spatial manipulation of superparamagnetic beads guided by soft magnetic patterns in a rotating magnetic field. Soft magnetic structures allow complex and repetitive tasks to be performed. As a demonstration, we show cyclic capture and release of antibodies from different microfluidic streams. |
