The marriage of magnetic beads and microfluidics systems is an emerging trend for many applications. In addition to being magnetically responsive, magnetic beads offer a dramatic increase in surface area to volume ratio, and can be functionalized with variety molecules such as antibodies and enzymes. This talk will focus on the manipulation of magnetic beads using a droplet-based fluid handling technique called Digital Microfluidics (DMF) and its applications in sample preparation, immunoassays, and catalysis.
