Railroading cells, microfluidic magnetic cell separation using ferromagnetic stripes

ORAL

Abstract

Magnetic cell separation has been demonstrated using recessed ferromagnetic stripes. Here we demonstrate precise control of the cell's positions using branched magnetic stripes in a microfluidic device. The technique allows magnetically separated cells to be delivered in precise locations to downstream cellular analysis components.
