| Summary: | This invention relates to a microfluidic device for the manipulation of a non-magnetic liquid, comprising at least one cell comprising:
an enclosure ensuring the confinement of a magnetic liquid (
5
), immiscible with the non-magnetic liquid (
7
) to be manipulated,
magnetic means (
6
) associated with the enclosure and permitting local application to the magnetic liquid of a magnetic field whose energy profile has a depression, giving rise to at least one volume for reception of the non-magnetic liquid, by forcing the magnetic liquid back, the magnetic field being displaceable to permit a manipulation of the non-magnetic liquid between means for introduction (
3
) and means for evacuation (
4
). |
