We report a novel on-chip cell and droplet manipulation scheme using magnetic nanoparticles suspension (i.e., ferrofluids). The design and characterization of a size-based cell-sorting device are presented. Magnetic field-assisted fabrication and manipulation of non-spherical polymer particles within a ferrofluidic droplet device is also presented.
