Khashan S.A., Furlani E.P., University at Buffalo (SUNY), US

Applications of magnetic particles have grown dramatically in recent years, especially for emerging microfluidic applications in the fields of microbiology, nanomedicine and biotechnology where they are commonly used to sort and separate biomaterials. Magnetic particles [...]

Particle Transport in Magnetophoretic Microsystems

Furlani E.P., University at Buffalo, US

Magnetophoretic microsystems are finding increasing use in biotechnology and biomedicine for applications such as bioseparation and immuno-assays. These microfluidic systems typically contain embedded elements that produce a magnetic field distribution within a microchannel. This applied [...]

Analytical Model for Magnetic Particle Transport in a Magnetically Biased Microfluidic System

Furlani E.P., University at Buffalo, US

An analytical model is described for predicting the transport and capture of magnetic micro/nano-particles in a magnetophoretic microsystem that consists of an array of integrated soft-magnetic elements embedded beneath a microfluidic channel. The elements are [...]
