However, the key technological question, how to generate suitable magnetic fields on various length scales (μm–m), is still unsolved. Here, we present a system of permanent magnets which allows for steering of iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) on arbitrary trajectories observable by microscopy. The movement of the particles is simply controlled by an almost force-free rotation of cylindrical arrangements of permanent magnets. The same instrument can be used to move suspended cells loaded with SPIONs along with predetermined directions. Surprisingly, it also allows for controlled movements of intracellular compartments inside of individual cells. The exclusive use of permanent magnets simplifies scaled up versions for animals or even humans, which would open the door for remotely controlled in vivo guidance of nanoparticles or micro-robots.Keywords: permanent magnets, Halbach, super-paramagnetic, steering, targetingBlümler PFriedrich RPPereira JBaun OAlexiou CMailänder VDove Medical Pressarticlepermanent magnetshalbachsuper-paramagneticsteeringtargetingMedical technologyR855-855.5Chemical technologyTP1-1185ENNanotechnology, Science and Applications, Vol Volume 14, Pp 91-100 (2021) |
