The diamagnetic properties of these cells and the force exerted on them along the z-axis have been investigated. The diamagnetic levitation height of each cell has been both theoretically calculated and experimentally studied. The results open a novel possibility for positioning living cells with further applications to medical diagnostics. date: 2015 date_type: published full_text_status: none publication: Materials Transactions volume: 56 number: 9 pagerange: 1431-1433 refereed: TRUE citation: Le, Viet Cuong and Nguyen, Xuan Nghia and Pham, Duc Thang (2015) Sorting and Trapping Human Cells Using a Matrix of Square Micro-Magnets.
