  • Patent number: 7642512
    Abstract: A magnetic field gradient is generated in a space, and a microparticle is flied downward in the space, thereby applying a magnetic force from the magnetic field gradient onto the microparticle. Then, a velocity and an acceleration of the microparticle due to the magnetic force are measured, thereby measuring a mass of the microparticle on the measured velocity and a magnetic susceptibility of the microparticle.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 1, 2006
    Date of Patent: January 5, 2010
    Assignee: Osaka University
    Inventors: Hitoshi Watarai, Hideaki Monjushiro, Katsuya Watanabe, Masayori Suwa, Mariko Arase
