Magnetic microrobot and its application in a microfluidic system
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper researches the design and control method of a microrobot in a microfluidic system by electromagnetic field. The microrobot can move along the microchannel to a required position, and by changing the magnetic torque, the microrobot can also rotate in the microfluidic chip. As an application of the microrobot, it is used as a mobile micromixer to mix two solutions in the microfluidic chip, and the experimental results verify its effectiveness.

Manipulating Microrobots Using Balanced Magnetic and Buoyancy Forces
We present a novel method for the three-dimensional (3D) control of microrobots within a microfluidic chip. The microrobot body contains a hollow space, producing buoyancy that allows it to float in a microfluidic environment. The robot moves in the z direction by balancing magnetic and buoyancy forces. In coordination with the motion of stages in the xy plane, we achieved 3D microrobot control...

In this study, we developed a microfluidic chip with a magnetically driven microrobot for oocyte enucleation. A microfluidic system was specially designed for enucleation, and the microrobot actively controls the local flow-speed distribution in the microfluidic chip. The microrobot can adjust fluid resistances in a channel and can open or close the channel to control the flow distribution. Ana...

This paper presents the ultrahigh speed microrobot actuation for cell manipulations in a microfluidic chip. The Ni and Si composite fabrication was employed to form the optimum riblet shape to reduce fluid friction on the microrobot by anisotropic Si wet etching and deep reactive ion etching. The evaluation experiments show the effectiveness of the riblet surface, especially in the case of high...
