Abstract
The present invention is related to a method for re-enabling transport by means of a magnetic field gradient transport mechanism of magnetic beads comprising a ligand in a solution on top of a surface comprising a receptor bound with said ligand, comprising the step of changing the properties of said solution such that dissociation occurs between said ligand and said receptor, and such that a sufficient repulsive interaction is created between said surface and said bead to allow transport of said bead.
