Magnetophoretic Separation & Immunoassay Magnetophoresis is a phenomenon explaining particle migration driven by magnetic force exerted on a particle. In a microchannel, magnetic force induced by an external magnetic field exerts an object to move toward the denser or sparser magnetic field. Previously, we have developed a new immunoassay system based on the magnetophoretic mobility of a microbead, depending on the amount of associated superparamagnetic nanoparticles under magnetic field gradient in a microfluidic channel [Lab Chip 2005, 5, 657]. By measuring the magnetophoretic deflection velocity of microbeads as the signal for the presence of analytes, the multiple disease biomarkers (such as allergen-specific IgEs or prostate-specific antigen) in a microchannel are simultaneously quantified by conjugated nanoparticles as a label [Anal. Chem. 2007, 79, 2214; Small 2009, 5, 2243]. In addition, the same technology has been successfully applied to develop a magnetophoretic, continuous purification platform that rids single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) of superparamagnetic iron-catalyst nanoparticles [Small 2007, 3, 1784]. We have also reported an improved magnetophoresis technique, called isomagnetophoresis, which discriminates subtle differences in magnetic susceptibility by using a magnetic susceptibility gradient in a microfluidic channel [JACS 2008, 130, 396]. The magnetic force exerted on a microbead is proportional to the magnetic susceptibility difference between the microbead and its surrounding solution, and the microbead moves toward or away from the high magnetic field in proportion to the magnetic susceptibility difference and stays at this isomagnetophoretic position. In isomagnetophoretic immunoassays, the magnetic nanoparticles are used as labels on microbeads in sandwich-type immunoassay, detecting the amount of bound analytes by isomagnetophoretic focusing the solid-support microbeads under the magnetic susceptibility gradient and magnetic field in a microchannel [Lab Chip 2011, 11, 2045]. The proposed immunoassay can be useful to accurately quantify the concentrations of biomarkers over the whole range of analyte concentrations, based on the current status and needs of the patient.
