Abstract: A magnetic particle carrier fluid recovery system includes at least one filter and a fluorescence reducer in fluid communication with contaminated magnetic particle carrier fluid. The filter(s) removes particulate matter less than 1 micron in size. The fluorescence reducer removes soluble fluorescent compounds from the carrier fluid causing background fluorescence contamination. A pump circulates the carrier fluid from a reservoir of contaminated fluid, through the system, and back to the reservoir. A cleaning loop runs the carrier fluid through the filter(s) and fluorescence reducer to remove contaminants to levels acceptable for new magnetic particle carrier fluid. A testing loop may be included that bypasses the filter(s) and fluorescence reducer. A valve may be actuated to toggle between the testing loop and cleaning loop for selective cleaning or use of the carrier fluid for MPI testing. The system may be integrated with an MPI station or may be independent and mobile.
