Design of micromagnetic arrays for on-chip separation of superparamagnetic bead aggregates and detection of a model protein and double-stranded DNA analytes

Abstract Magnetically actuated lab-on-a-chip (LOC) technologies have enabled rapid, highly efficient separation of specific biomarkers and cells from complex biological samples. Nonlinear magnetophoresis (NLM) is a technique that uses a microfabricated magnet array (MMA) and a time varying external...
