Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, a high gradient magnetic field source for a cell separation device was designed to control position of cell by a process of magnetically levitating cells suspended in a working medium. The traction force acting on the targeted substance can be controlled the magnetic force and the apparent density by selecting the type and the concentration of the working medium was discussed.
At the result, the usefulness of the magnetic Archimedes separation device for magnetic cell sorter was confirmed.
