We describe a method to trap, transport and release microscopic particles in a viscous fluid using the hydrodynamic flow field generated by a magnetically driven colloidal ribbon. The ribbon is composed by ferromagnetic microellipsoids that assemble perpendicular to each other due to their permanent magnetic moment. We use an external precessing magnetic field to torque the anisotropic particles forming this structure, and the particle rotational motion is rectified into a net translation due to the hydrodynamic coupling with the surface. Non-magnetic particles can be captured or expelled by the hydrodynamic flow field generated by the propelling ribbon. The proposed technique may be used in channel-free microfluidic applications, where precise trapping and transport of functionalized particles via non invasive magnetic fields is required.
