Abstract
Magnetophoresis process is a separation technique where Magnetic Nanoparticles (MNPs) is separates from their surrounding fluid by influence of low-gradient magnetic field (LGMS). This process induced hydrodynamic effects in which enhanced the MNPs separation. This technique gaining popularity as it can be used for nanoscale separation such as application biomedical cell separation. However, different type of fluid medium will be handled for different applications. Herein, we analyze and investigate the nanoparticles behavior inside different type of viscosity and non-Newtonian fluid under the influence of LGMS during magnetophoresis. Through experiment, the viscosity of fluid medium and concentration of MNPs affects the separation during of MNPs during magnetophoresis. According to the data collected, duration for separation of MNPs increased as viscosity increased and. However, the higher the concentration of MNPs inside the fluid medium, the faster the separation process.
