Abstract
The invention relates to a device and a method for fluidic cell guidance for flow cytometry or analyte enrichment. This allows magnetically marked analytes, in particular cells (), to be dynamically enriched and individually detected in the flow from a sample, in particular magnetoresistively. For cell guidance, guiding ridges () are arranged in a flow channel (), and so, in addition to a magnetic enrichment force () and the shearing force of the flow (), a deflecting force () caused by the fluidic obstacles () also acts on the cells () to be detected.
