Magnetic Beads for Schistosomiasis Diagnosis
Schistosomiasis is a chronic helminth disease of humans, linked persistently with poverty. Parasite transmission is reliant on poor sanitation for transmission from humans to the molluscan intermediate host [1,2]. Recent estimates of the global disease burden for schistosomiasis indicate that some 207 million people are infected, with over 750 million people at risk [2]. New control strategies ...
متن کاملDesign of magnetic tweezers for DNA manipulation
We study different configurations of permanent magnets and ferromagnetic circuit, in order to optimize the magnetic field for the so-called “magnetic tweezers” technique, for studing mechanical properties of DNA molecules. The magnetic field is used to pull and twist a micron-sized superparamagnetic bead, tethered to a microscope slide surface by a DNA molecule. The force applied to the bead mu...
متن کاملMultiplexed single-molecule measurements with magnetic tweezers.
We present a method for performing multiple single-molecule manipulation experiments in parallel with magnetic tweezers. We use a microscope with a low magnification, and thus a wide field of view, to visualize multiple DNA-tethered paramagnetic beads and apply an optimized image analysis routine to track the three-dimensional position of each bead simultaneously in real time. Force is applied ...
متن کاملMagnetic Actuation of Hinged Microstructures
We have investigated magnetic actuation of hinged, surface micromachined structures. Electroplated magnetic material (Permalloy) is integrated with two types of hinged microstructures and the magnetic actuation process has been experimentally characterized. Under a given external magnetic field, the angular displacement of a hinged structure is determined by the volume of the magnetic material ...
متن کاملMagnetic Tweezers for Single-Molecule Experiments
Over the last decade, single-molecule techniques have proven their wide applicability in the study of processive motor proteins and other enzymes, yielding insight into their kinetics and mechanochemistry. In the context of force spectroscopy of protein–nucleic acid interactions, optical tweezers, magnetic tweezers, and atomic force microscopy have made important contributions. Advantages of ma...
