This study aims to demonstrate label-free cell patterning in an arbitrary shape by magnetic scanning based on the magneto-Archimedes effect. By adding the paramagnetic compound to the cell suspension, cells were pushed away from the trajectory of a magnet. Based on the phenomena, we developed the system to pattern cells by scanning a permanent magnet beneath a cell culture dish. First, we confirmed that the system was able to pattern cells by removing cells above the trajectory of the magnet. Finally, the system scanned the magnet on the shape of our faculty’s symbol, that patterned cells in the symbol. The results show the diamagnetic cell patterning by magnetic scanning has a potential as a new technique to pattern cells.
