Magnetophoresis in microfluidic lab: Recent advance

Recent microfluidic advances in submicron to nanoparticle manipulation and separation

“…Magnetophoresis is advantageous in non-contact, high throughput isolation, low cost, has selective controllability, and minimal heat generation. [153][154][155] Despite the advantages, sample preparation for magnetophoresis is time-consuming and labour-intensive. The separation efficiency depends on the properties, such as the load capacity of the magnetic beads.…”

Scalable mesenchymal stem cell enrichment from bone marrow aspirate using deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) microfluidic sorting

“…31 They can be classified into two groups: active and passive methods. Active methods exploit externally applied fields or forces such as acoustophoresis, 32 electrokinetics, 33 and magnetophoresis 34 to enhance separation. In contrast, passive methods rely on inherent hydrodynamic interactions between the channel structures and cells for separation, optimized by manipulating channel geometries.…”

Microfluidic Applications of Artificial Cilia: Recent Progress, Demonstration, and Future Perspectives

“…The existing reviews on microfluidic based devices focused on any specific topics. For instance, the studies were focused on particular actuation techniques like magnetics [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ] and light [ 15 ], specific applications like mixing [ 12 ], robotics [ 16 ] and particle manipulation [ 11 , 17 , 18 ], or fabrication techniques like 3D printing [ 19 ]. Few excellent reviews are presented in the field of artificial cilia-based microfluidic devices [ 20 , 21 ].…”
