Continuous-flow separation of magnetic particles from biofluids: how does the microdevice geometry determine the separation performance?

The use of functionalized magnetic particles for the detection or separation of multiple chemicals and biomolecules from biofluids continues to attract significant attention. After their incubation with the targeted substances, the beads can be magnetically recovered to perform analysis or diagnosti...

Particle recovery with permanent magnets in continuous-flow microdevices has gathered great attention in the last decade due to the multiple advantages of microfluidics.

The influence of several geometrical features (namely cross section shape, thickness, length, and volume) on both bead recovery and system throughput is studied.
