I will focus on realizations within the concept of stationary microfluidics, in which fluid manipulation is minimized and the assay steps are essentially effectuated by magnetic particles and magnetic forces. I will discuss efforts to combine and integrate different magnetically actuated assay steps, with the vision that it will become possible in the future to realize integrated, cost-effective and easy to use stationary-fluidic biosensing systems in which all assay process steps are controlled and optimized by magnetic forces. |
