Lab-on-a-chip in Superconducting Magnets – a Tool for Particle Separations and Bubble Manipulation via Diamagnetic Repulsion
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on the integration of microfluidic devices and superconducting magnets to enable temporal and spatial control for the application of high magnetic fields in the study of materials and physical phenomena. Here, we perform the continuous flow separation of two particle populations in high magnetic fields based on diamagnetic repulsion, as well as the manipulation of air bubbles.

Theory and experiment on particle trapping and manipulation via optothermally generated bubbles.
We present a theoretical analysis and experimental demonstration of particle trapping and manipulation around optothermally generated bubbles. We show that a particle located within 500 μm of a surface bubble can be attracted towards a bubble by drag force resulting from a convective flow. Once the particle comes in contact with the bubble's surface, a balance between surface tension forces and...
متن کاملNegative magnetophoresis in diluted ferrofluid flow.
We report magnetic manipulation of non-magnetic particles suspended in diluted ferrofluid. Diamagnetic particles were introduced into a circular chamber to study the extent of their deflection under the effect of a non-uniform magnetic field of a permanent magnet. Since ferrofluid is a paramagnetic medium, it also experiences a bulk magnetic force that in turn induces a secondary flow opposing ...
متن کاملMagnetophoresis of diamagnetic microparticles in a weak magnetic field.
Magnetic manipulation is a promising technique for lab-on-a-chip platforms. The magnetic approach can avoid problems associated with heat, surface charge, ionic concentration and pH level. The present paper investigates the migration of diamagnetic particles in a ferrofluid core stream that is sandwiched between two diamagnetic streams in a uniform magnetic field. The three-layer flow is expand...
متن کاملMagnetic forces produced by rectangular permanent magnets in static microsystems.
Finite element numerical simulations were carried out in 2D geometries to map the magnetic field and force distribution produced by rectangular permanent magnets as a function of their size and position with respect to a microchannel. A single magnet, two magnets placed in attraction and in repulsion have been considered. The goal of this work is to show where magnetic beads are preferentially ...
متن کاملInfluence of Water Cooling on Orthogonal Cutting Process of Ti-6Al-4V Using Smooth-Particle Hydrodynamics Method
Temperature control during the cutting process with different parameters such as cutting velocity and applying water cooling is essential to decrease the cutting force, increase the life of the cutting tool and decrease the machined surface temperature of work-piece. In this research, the temperature of machined surface and the chip-tool interface in orthogonal cutting process of Ti-6Al-4V were...
