Abstract: This study analyzes experimentally the deposition of magnetic beads on the walls of a square microchannel by the action of a nearby cubical magnet. The deposition has been studied for different magnetic bead sizes, flow rates, magnetic conditions and with solutions of magnetic and non‐magnetic particles. Images of the time evolution of the deposition under the different conditions have been analyzed to determine the spatial distribution of the accumulation and the growth rate of the depositions. It has been found that the way in which the magnetic beads are deposited on the walls of the microchannel depends strongly on their size and the magnetic configuration. The accumulation of the major part of particles is on the wall closest to the magnet and, depending on the size of the particles, near the magnet leading and trailing edges or near the center of the magnet. The experiments with magnetic and non‐magnetic particles revealed the screening effect of the non-magnetic particles on the deposition. In this case, the non‐magnetic particles displace the deposition toward the region near the center of the magnet and near the trailing edge.
