An IC/microfluidic hybrid microsystem for 2D magnetic manipulation of individual biological cells

Abstract
A microfluidic system is fabricated on top of an IC chip, suspending magnetic-bead-tagged biological cells in a biocompatible environment. The IC produces patterned magnetic fields using a microcoil array to manipulate individual bead-bound cells. The hybrid prototype manipulates bovine capillary endothelial cells with precise spatial control.
