Directed transport of magnetic particles for Lab-on-a-chip applications can be realized by superposing periodic magnetic stray field landscapes, emerging from tailored magnetic domain patterns, with external time-dependent magnetic fields [1]. A transition from a linear (phase-locked) to a non-linear (phase-slipping) motion behavior is typically observed for a critical frequency of the external field [2]. This critical frequency is a function of particle and domain pattern characteristics. Studying the latter influence is the scope of this work: We fabricated magnetic stripe domains of gradually increasing width within the same substrate and explored the motion dynamics of laterally transported superparamagnetic beads on top using an optical microscope. As a result, we observed position-dependent critical frequencies, which we will highlight to be beneficial for the spatial fractionation of beads with different magnetophoretic mobilities.
