Patent attributes
An apparatus for separating a predetermined amount of magnetic particles in a fluid, including a fluid conveyance portion having at least a first flow channel for supplying a fluid containing the magnetic particles, a second flow channel for discharging the separated magnetic particles, and an intersection at which the first flow channel and the second flow channel intersect each other, a capture unit for capturing a predetermined amount of the magnetic particles in the fluid supplied from the first flow channel to the intersection when a magnetic field is applied to the intersection of the fluid conveyance portion, and a discharge unit for removing the magnetic field applied to the intersection to discharge the magnetic particles captured by the capture unit by way of a medium introduced into the second flow channel.
