Abstract
Direct magnetic separations of red blood cells from whole blood have been carried out using a continuous magnetic separation method based on high gradient magnetic separation (HGMS) and a gas-permeable membrane with nitrogen gas. The experimental results have shown good agreements with the theoretical model taking into account the gravitational force. Based on the analysis, the feasibility of a direct magnetic separation device for white blood cells and plasma from whole blood is discussed.
