Selective Trapping and Manipulation of Microscale Objects Using Mobile Microvortices

Petit, Tristan, Zhang, Li, Peyer, Kathrin E., Kratochvil, Bradley E., Nelson, Bradley J.·2012·Nano Letters

Abstract

Controlled manipulation of individual micro- and nanoscale objects requires the use of trapping forces that can be focused and translated with high spatial and time resolution. We report a new strategy that uses the flow of mobile microvortices to trap and manipulate single objects in fluid with essentially no restrictions on their material properties. Fluidic trapping forces are generated toward the center of microvortices formed by magnetic microactuators, that is, rotating nanowire or self-assembled microbeads, actuated by a weak rotating magnetic field (|B|< 5 mT). We demonstrate precise manipulation of single microspheres and microorganisms near a solid surface in water.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
