Microfluidic-Based Droplet and Cell Manipulations Using Artificial Bacterial Flagella

Microfluidic-Based Droplet and Cell Manipulations Using Artificial Bacterial Flagella

Herein, we assess the functionality of magnetic helical microswimmers as basic tools for the manipulation of soft materials, including microdroplets and single cells. Their ability to perform a range of unit operations is evaluated and the operational challenges associated with their use are establi...
