| Ferromagnetic Microspheres |
| Unlike paramagnetic microspheres that are made using iron oxide, ACME™ Ferromagnetic Microspheres are prepared using chromium dioxide coated onto uniform polystyrene Microspheres. These microspheres retain magnetism once exposed to a magnetic field. The microspheres can be demagnetized and re-magnetized repeatedly and reproducibly. Ferromagnetic Microspheres have been used for studying mechanotransduction across the cell surface and through the cytoskeleton by binding ferromagnetic Microspheres to cell surface receptors and applying mechanical stress directly to the receptor using a device to twist the magnetic particle on the cell surface. |
