  • Abstract
    A bench top magnetic separator is described which is suitable for separating red blood cells infected with malarial parasites from whole blood. The separator is based on a compact 0.7T permanent magnet and uses a high gradient magnetic filter of approximately 2.5 cm3volume. Experiments with malaria parasitised mouse red cells (Plasmodium berghei) show that final parasite concentrations in excess of 90% can be achieved.
