Abstract
Significant motion of a particle suspended in a fluid in a magnetic field r equires steep gradients and hence short migration distances. Recognizing th is constraint a magnetic particle separator was designed to classify partic les on the basis of magnetophoretic mobility. Multiple short migration path s were achieved by using a multistage extractor, which draws particles out of a feed cuvette using an increasing magnetic driving force at each stage.
