Generating Magnetic Fields for your Needs

MagnebotiX, a spin-off of the Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Systems at the ETH Zurich, Switzerland, produces and markets magnetic field generators (MFG). These systems are capable of generating a wide variety of static or time-varying magnetic fields for research on magnetic field-dependent phenomena, They are also used for developing applications for magnetic micro and nano robots as well as other micromanipulation procedures. Our MFGs produce fields and field gradients providing forces and torques for 5 degrees-of-freedom, non-contact actuation for particle orientation and positioning, stick-slip or rolling motions, and flagellar swimming. Applications include studies in engineering and fluid dynamics, localized rheology measurements, microscopic mechanobiology stimulation and characterization. At a much larger size the MBX-Navion is conceived for human-scale medical research with remote intervention.

About Us

MagnebotiX was formed in Q2 2014 and is headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland. Our team of world class researchers and engineers is passionate about the development and production of magnetic manipulation systems, including magnetic field generators and micromagnetic agents. With years of expertise in the field, our products support both fundamental and applied scientific and engineering research. Taking advantage of the transmission of both power and guidance through applied magnetic fields, our systems provide wireless tools to accomplish challenging micromanipulation tasks. They are also used to control untethered mechanical probes in otherwise inaccessible places and for targeted cargo delivery in minimally invasive biological studies.
