 This invention implements a new method of simultaneous detection and separation of biological entities like specific cells, based on magnetic nanobeads of strictly controlled size. The nanobeads can be used in a number of biomedical applications, such as bioimaging, bio- and chemo-sensing, cell tracking and sorting, bioseparation, drug delivery and therapy systems in nanomedicine, etc.

Device for controlling fluid motion into micro nanochannels by surface acoustic waves
This invention provides a solution to the problem of controlling fluid flow in micro/nanofluidic circuits on chips, and specifically for chemical, biochemical and optofluidic applications. Fluid motion is controlled when entering, propagating and exiting the channel circuit by an original and very effective pumping system based on surface-acoustic-waves (SAW) generated by interdigitated electrode transducers (IDTs) on a piezoelectric substrate, e.g. lithium niobate, to which the fluidic circuit is bonded.
