Development of an electrowetting-based microfluidic platform for magnetic immunoassays
Paper in proceeding, 2009

We report the transport of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) in suspension in a 2 μl de-ionized water droplet (DIWD) using ElectroWetting-On-Dielectic (EWOD) actuation, and the detection of the MNPs by magnetic AC-susceptibility measurements using a highly sensitive high-Tc dc Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) gradiometer. These results constitute the first development step towards a MNP-based magnetic immunoassay platform with SQUID-readout and sample droplet handling.
