Chain-like ultrafine particles that are subjected to the action of a magnetic field are produced as follows. A magnetic material is heated and evaporated in an inert gas such as helium sealed in a container, and atoms of the evaporated material are cooled and condensed by the gas, and then become magnetized when they pass through a magnetic field. In this way, the magnetic ultrafine particles are magnetized and a large number of them are connected in a chain. This number of connected particles is the rate of evaporation,
Controlled by the magnitude of the magnetic field, particle size, etc.

Next, the operation of the apparatus of the present invention shown in the first figure will be explained. A required amount of chain-shaped ultrafine particles 3 is sealed in the reservoir 2 of the container according to the control mode of the flow of microorganisms, etc. To create the same state as when the valve is closed, apply alternating currents with a phase difference of 180 degrees to solenoids 4A and 4B. The cycle of this alternating current matches the alternating magnetic force caused by this current and the moving speed of the chain-like ultrafine particles. Therefore, the excitation solenoid causes the chain-like ultrafine particles to move to the right or left in the drawing. The chain-shaped ultrafine particles can be kept at the center of the reservoir 2 repeatedly, and all the chain-like ultrafine particles are arranged in a direction that intersects the flow. In this state, the movement of microorganisms flowing through the flow path 1 is hindered by the chain-like ultrafine particle group 3.

In this way, the chain-shaped ultrafine particle group 3 is attracted toward the stronger magnetic field, so that the non-magnetic fluid can freely pass through the center of the reservoir 2. Neither of the solenoids 4A and 4B needs to be energized; in that case, since the solenoids 5A and 5B are energized, the chain-like ultrafine particle group 3 does not flow out.

In addition, in the case of chain-shaped magnetic ultrafine particles, cells, microorganisms, or enzymes having magnetic ultrafine particles are attached to each chain-shaped magnetic ultrafine particle.
It is possible to prevent the flow of microorganisms, enzymes, etc., and allow non-magnetic, for example, reaction products of microorganisms to flow through the chain-shaped magnetic ultrafine particle group, thereby separating microorganisms, etc. and their reaction products. When an electric field generator is used instead of a magnetic field generator using a solenoid, chain-like ultrafine particles that are affected by the electric field are used. For example, as shown in the second diagram, it is composed of a connected chain of ultrafine particles of two types of metals, such as nickel and silver, which generate a contact potential difference.
Since it acts as a heavy pole, it is affected by the electric force in an electric field.
