Fluidics systems including magnetic or electric fields and methods of using the same

摘要: This invention relates to fluidic systems, as well methods of manufacturing and using the same. The systems include a substrate having surface that define one or more channels. channels contain fluid (e.g., water) into which different species biological chemical materials) are introduced. generally caused flow through desired location within system. attracted away from c hannel walls magnetic electric fields while they attracion can enhance system limit problems associated with adhering channel such increased drag clog ging be used perform various functions, for example, separation accumulation spe cies. particularly well-suited use in microfluidic applications relatively small widths.
