Abstract: | Magnetic micro components for micro reaction technology Miniaturization and parallelization of chemical and molecular biological processes creates continuous demand for development of new micro scaled solutions. Arrays of reaction chambers with volume less than one micro litre were already developed, yet the biggest technical problem remaining is the handling and especially the transferring of substances in the range of nano litres between the reaction chambers. We have developed a new kind of magnetic beads enabling solid phase reactions and designed a new magnetic handling system and magnetic transfer carriers, that allow the parallel and selective substance transfer between miniaturized reaction chamber arrays with several thousand of chambers. |
