DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONCENTRATING AND DETECTING MAGNETICALLY MARKED CELLS IN LAMINARLY FLOWING MEDIA

摘要

The embodiments relate to a device and to a method for concentrating and detecting cells in flowing media, in particular magnetically marked cells in complex media such as blood. For this purpose, at least one magnet is used, said magnet being coupled to at least one magnetoresistance. In the method the cells are concentrated on a magnetoresistor by the least one external magnetic field having a pulsed operation.
