Fast and precise magnetophoresis of superparamagnetic nanoparticles on a micro-magnetic substrate in a static liquid environment
Abstract
without reaching a critical speed. The mobility of SNPs was investigated in different buffers commonly used for biological analysis, and shown to be enhanced in low ionic strength conditions. As an example of future application, we demonstrate nucleic acid detection by SNP accumulation enabling to concentrate the fluorescence signal. This system provides the opportunity to be easily integrated in lab-on-a-chip (LOC) devices and could help relieve current development limitations related to complex and costly fluidic actuation instrumentation.
