Abstract

We present temperature control as a simple yet highly efficient means of improving particle separations in on-chip free-flow magnetophoresis. Increased temperatures resulted in a decrease in solution viscosity, which in turn yielded greater particle deflection distances and increased the separation resolution of two particle populations. This inexpensive and effective technique would also be of great benefit to other continuous flow processes involving the deflection of particles.
