Apparatus for Manipulation and Detection of Magnetic Particles

摘要

The present invention pertains to the manipulation and detection of magnetically susceptible components and includes methods of manipulation and detection of magnetically susceptible components and apparatuses for the manipulation and detection of magnetically susceptible components. The apparatuses and systems of the present invention employ controllable magnetic fields to precisely control the orientation, position and relative motion of any magnetically susceptible components within a reaction vessel that is subject to interrogation by a detector system. The methods of the present invention employ controllable magnetic fields to specifically locate magnetically susceptible components in regions of a reaction vessel suitable for interrogation by a detector system.
