Abstract

Self-assembled matrices of magnetic beads have shown their potential to separate long DNA (>100 kbp). Because of their tunability, they represent an interesting alternative to arrays of posts obtained by microlithography. In this paper, a nickel template is used to nucleate the obstacles growth and thus organize the matrix around a predefined design. DNA molecules, 48 to 166 kbp long, were separated in minutes and the measured resolution was compared to theoretical predictions.
