Abstract
A bench top magnetic separator is described which is suitable for separating red blood cells infected with malarial parasites from whole blood. The separator is based on a compact 0.7T permanent magnet and uses a high gradient magnetic filter of approximately 2.5 cm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sup> volume.
