A BioMEMS chip with integrated micro electromagnet array towards bio-particles manipulation

We propose in this paper the design and implementation of a novel BioMEMS chip towards the manipulation of magnetic micro/nano particles. Our proposed device integrates a planar microcoil array and a microfluidic structure on a single chip, without any post-fabrication process. Meanwhile, a multiple coil cooperation regime is studied from simulation by Finite Element Software and applied in application to increase the manipulation efficiency. Taking advantage of computer-aided microplotter to introduce microfluidics to the chip, the traditional microtubes and syringe pump are avoided. Hence, this chip is compact, low-cost and mass-producible. Experiment is performed using antibody coated magnetic particles with mean diameter [email protected], and the results reveal that this chip can achieve a high efficiency with trapping rate over 90% while consuming a current of 40mA, thus it has a great potential in bio-particles manipulation for point of care diagnostics.
