Fig. 4. Functional demonstration of MagCaps in targeted drug delivery, release and sampling.

Fig. 4

a Schematic diagram of the developed Helmholtz coil actuation system. b Targeted drug delivery of MagCaps rolling along an S-shaped testing platform and the final drug release driven by a uniform magnetic field. c Targeted sampling of MagCaps in a U-shaped testing platform under a uniform magnetic field. d Targeted drug delivery using a permanent magnet (D50 × L20 mm, N35) and drug releasing with a 30 Hz, 30 mT high-frequency magnetic field (generated by the coil in Fig. S6e) in the anatomical model of the stomach, which can be divided into four stages: swinging, sliding, rolling and releasing. Scale bar: 10 mm.
