abstract = {As a powerful and versatile scientific instrument, magnetic
tweezers have been widely used in biophysical research
areas, such as mechanical cell properties and single
molecule manipulation. If one wants to steer bead position,
the nonlinearity of magnetic properties and the strong
position dependence of the magnetic field in most magnetic
tweezers lead to quite a challenge in their control. In this
article, we report multi-pole electromagnetic tweezers with
high permeability cores yielding high force output, good
maneuverability, and flexible design. For modeling, we
adopted a piece-wise linear dependence of magnetization on
field to characterize the magnetic beads. We implemented a
bi-linear interpolation of magnetic field in the work space,
based on a lookup table obtained from finite element
simulation. The electronics and software were custom-made to
achieve high performance. In addition, the effects of
dimension and defect on structure of magnetic tips also were
inspected. In a workspace with size of 0.1 × 0.1 mm2, a
force of up to 400 pN can be applied on a 2.8 μm
superparamagnetic bead in any direction within the plane.
Because the magnetic particle is always pulled towards a
tip, the pulling forces from the pole tips have to be well
balanced in order to achieve control of the particle’s
position. Active video tracking based feedback control is
implemented, which is able to work at a speed of up to 1
kHz, yielding good maneuverability of the magnetic beads.},
