Title:
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR NANOMANIPULATION OF BIOMOLECULES AND LIVING CELLS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006039675
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an electromagnetic needle for magnetically manipulating microscopic particles and a method of making the same, and more particularly, to a method for nanomanipulating biomolecules and/or living cells using the electromagnetic needle of the present invention. The temperature-controlled electromagnetic microneedle includes an electromagnetic core having a magnetic probe tip. A wire coil is wound around at least a portion of the core and electrically isolated from the core. A thermo-regulating water jacket having a first and second end and enveloping the electromagnetic core and wire coil allows the probe tip to extend from the first end. Magnetically responsive particles upon which a biologically active substance is absorbed are administered to a subject. A catheter having a magnet attached thereto is inserted into the body of the subject. The magnet guides the particles to a site to be treated with the biologically active substance.
