A wide variety of cellular processes, both physiological and pathological, are accompanied by transient or permanent changes in a cell’s fundamental characteristics as a biological material (i) volumetric mass density or (ii) magnetic signature due to formation or quenching of intracellular paramagnetic reactive species such as, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS). These events include cell-cycle stage [1], differentiation [2], cell-death (apoptosis/necrosis)[3], malignancy, disease state [4], activation, phagocytosis, in vivo and ex vivo cell aging (eg, red blood cells), viral infection, and specific as well as non-specific responses to drugs. Therefore, reliable tools designed for high spatial resolution, real-time monitoring and quantification of magnetic signatures and volumetric mass densities of cells will help elucidate the intricate cellular mechanisms [5].Hitherto, there have been attempts to measure the fundamental material properties of biological living materials with high precision such as the density of single living cells [6]. One such technology involves nanofabricated, suspended microchannel resonators that offers low throughput, and the necessity to use a sophisticated pump mechanism to transfer cells between fluids with different densities [5]. Other approaches include phase-shifting interferometry [7], digital holographic microscopy [8], quadriwave lateral shearing interferometry [9], and quantitative phase tomography [10]. Despite its success in quantifying cellular density, these technology has limitations in monitoring subtle morphological changes, manipulating cells or triggering and quantifying various cellular events without requiring sophisticated fabrication or components. Alternatively, magnetophoresis was used to separate cells based on their native magnetic properties, such as deoxygenated red blood cells (RBCs) from whole blood [11] and malaria-infected RBCs from healthy RBCs [12]. Magnetic repulsion was also used for label-free separation of cells spiked in magnetic solutions with respect to their size, elasticity and magnetic property [13]. However, these technologies are not capable to analyze various cell populations. Moreover, up until now,
