<p>Innovative method for quantitatively separating cells, proteins, or other particles, comprising multistage electromagnetically assisted separation technology including a series of dipole, quadrupole or ring magnets (40, 44), stacked along the upper cylindrical cavity of the MAGSEP (10) two-plate device for activating in sequence, lowest first, to accelerate (in the sense of a magnetic induction accelerator as used in particle physics) particles upward until they reach an unstable point as defined by Earnshaw's therorem, at which time the first field is switched off and the second switched on to continue the upward capture process without sticking the particles to the wall by magnetapheresis.</p> |
