User talk:Sousa.a.f/Magnetophoresis

This is de first definition I wrote about magnetophoresis:

"Free-flow Magnetophoresis is a method that allows the separation of magnetic particles (MPs) in continuous flow. It consists in a microfluidic device with a separation chamber in which a laminar flow is generated in the x-direction. Perpendicularly to the laminar flow, that is in the y-direction a magnetic field gradient is applied. By doing so, superparamagnetic particles usually composed by iron oxide material are deflected from their trajectory. Magnetophoresis can be used to control the motion of labeled cells with MPs. This is obtained by labeling the cells with specific antibodies that are previously immobilized with different size, and so different magnetic momentum – this is called immunomagnetic labeling."

I would like to read some feedback, about weather this is well written and understandable.
