Abstract

This editorial summarises the significance of the contributions to the special issue on magnetic-based microfluidics. Magnetic-based microfluidics or micro magnetofluidics is a research area that combines the advantages of microfluidics and magnetism. The interaction between a flow field and a magnetic field leads to new functionalities that are useful for emerging applications such as lab-on-a-chip devices.
