FRACTIONATION OF MAGNETIC MICROSPHERES IN A MICROFLUIDIC SPIRAL: INTERPLAY BETWEEN MAGNETIC AND HYDRODYNAMIC FORCES.

Fractionation of Magnetic Microspheres in a Microfluidic Spiral: Interplay between Magnetic and Hydrodynamic Forces.

Magnetic forces and curvature-induced hydrodynamic drag have both been studied and employed in continuous microfluidic particle separation and enrichment schemes.Here we combine the two.We investigate consequences of applying an outwardly directed magnetic force to a dilute suspension of magnetic microspheres circulating in a spiral microfluidic ch
