Abstract: Provided are a method of and apparatus for evaluating immune cells using magnetic particles. According to an aspect of the method, magnetic particles may be used to measure interaction of the magnetic particles with immune cells, thereby diagnosing or evaluating a degree of activation of immune cells of a subject or immune-related diseases of the subject. Further, according to an aspect of the apparatus, a phenomenon of interaction of magnetic particles and activated immune cells via endocytosis may be used to collect magnetic particle-immune cell complexes resulting from the interaction with the magnetic particles by applying a magnetic field, thereby effectively isolating the activated immune cells in a short period of time.

Abstract: A method of removing harmful substances in blood according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is performed by a fluidic device including an inlet into which isolated blood is injected and at least one blood-clot generating and fixing unit, and the method includes injecting isolated blood into the inlet and removing harmful substances in blood by generating blood clots in the at least one blood-clot generating and fixing unit from the injected blood and fixing the blood clots.

Abstract: One embodiment relates to a system and method by which the magnetic susceptibility of a fluid is changed to separate the fluid according to differences in magnetic susceptibility. According to one embodiment, a fluid separation system and method can efficiently separate materials contained in a fluid according to magnetic susceptibility, without damage such as hemolysis or without changes in the types or concentrations of marker proteins in plasma.
