Abstract

A special focused magnet, designed for the use in the magnetic targeted drug delivery system, was constructed. The theoretical calculation of the adhesion condition for a magnetic fluid drop in magnetic field with obtained design showed that the constructed focused magnet generates a sufficient magnetic force for the capture of a magnetic drop on the vessel wall and can be used 1.5–2 cm deeper in an organism compared with the prism permanent magnet, which can enable non-invasivity of the magnetic drug targeting procedure. The maximal values for magnetic field and gradient of magnetic field are 0.38 T and 101 T/m, respectively.
