Schematic design of the microfluidic device for continuous-flow magnetically controlled capture and separation of microparticles. The device consists of an incubator that employs TART of magnetic beads and a separator that uses magnetic fractionation. The incubation and separator are serially connected and placed next to a bar-shaped permanent magnet. Particle distributions are analyzed in the observation regions at the Y-junction, the end of the incubator, and the end of the separator. These regions are each divided into ten lanes to facilitate the analysis.
