A microfluidic platform including a microfluidic layer and a contact layer. The microfluidic layer is embedded with a microfluidic structure including a micro-channel and a fluidic sample contained in the micro-channel. The contact layer is able to be attached to the microfluidic layer, and includes a first heater for heating a first area of the microfluidic structure to a first temperature and a second heater for heating a second area of the microfluidic structure to a second temperature. The microfluidic layer and the contact layer rotate together during operation. A method for controlling a sample in the micro-channel of the microfluidic structure.

A split drain magnetic field effect transistor (MAGFET) includes at least one supplemental gate to exert a lateral electrical field in the channel of the MAGFET. Connection of the supplemental gate in feedback with one of the two drain contacts allows the MAGFET to act as a latch sensitive to the presence of an external magnetic field. Preferably, the MAGFET includes two laterally spaced supplemental gates, allowing for the detection of an external magnetic field and its orientation.
