Diamagnetic repulsion—A versatile tool for label-free particle handling in microfluidic devices (2009)
Journal Article
Peyman, S. A., Kwan, E. Y., Margarson, O., Iles, A., & Pamme, N. (2009). Diamagnetic repulsion—A versatile tool for label-free particle handling in microfluidic devices. Journal of Chromatography A, 1216(52), 9055-9062. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chroma.2009.06.039

We report the exploration of diamagnetic repulsion forces for the selective manipulation of microparticles inside microfluidic devices. Diamagnetic materials such as polymers are repelled from magnetic fields, an effect greatly enhanced by suspending...

On-chip diamagnetic repulsion in continuous flow (2009)
Journal Article
Tarn, M. D., Hirota, N., Iles, A., & Pamme, N. (2009). On-chip diamagnetic repulsion in continuous flow. Science and Technology of Advanced Materials, 10(1), 014611 - 014611. https://doi.org/10.1088/1468-6996/10/1/014611

We explore the potential of a microfluidic continuous flow particle separation system based on the repulsion of diamagnetic materials from a high magnetic field. Diamagnetic polystyrene particles in paramagnetic manganese (II) chloride solution were... Read More about On-chip diamagnetic repulsion in continuous flow.

Rapid on-chip multi-step (bio)chemical procedures in continuous flow - manoeuvring particles through co-laminar reagent streams (2008)
Journal Article
Peyman, S. A., Iles, A., & Pamme, N. (2008). Rapid on-chip multi-step (bio)chemical procedures in continuous flow - manoeuvring particles through co-laminar reagent streams. Chemical communications : Chem comm / the Royal Society of Chemistry, 1220-1222. https://doi.org/10.1039/b716532c

We introduce a novel and extremely versatile microfluidic platform in which tedious multi-step biochemical processes can be performed in continuous flow within a fraction of the time required for conventional methods.

Simultaneous bioassays in a microfluidic channel on plugs of different magnetic particles (2007)
Journal Article
Bronzeau, S., & Pamme, N. (2008). Simultaneous bioassays in a microfluidic channel on plugs of different magnetic particles. Analytica Chimica Acta, 609(1), 105-112. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aca.2007.11.035

Magnetic particles coated with specific biomolecules are often used as solid supports for bioassays but conventional test tube based techniques are time consuming and labour intensive. An alternative is to work on magnetic particle plugs immobilised... Read More about Simultaneous bioassays in a microfluidic channel on plugs of different magnetic particles.
