| Summary: | With the present advancement of microfabrication technologies, substantial growth in Biomedical Microelectromechanical Systems (BioMEMS) is significantly huge. Incorporation of the magnetism techniques with microfluidics, diverse biological related applications and innovations like metastatic cancer cell removal could be achieved; in the aspect of lab-on-a-chip.
In relation to the innovation of microfabrication, an integrated magneto-fluidics device will be design and fabricated in this project to regulate the sorting of magnetic microparticles. Essentially, such sorting device is involved in the constitutive separation of biomolecules tagged with functionalized magnetic microparticles in the future. Using microfabricated square meandering current carrying micro-stripline, manipulation and actuation of the magnetic microparticles can be achieved. Additionally, simulation programs are used to assist and optimise the design of the magnetism properties of the device. |
