Abstract— In the current trend, cancer has become something like cold. Almost in every street, at least three people fight
cancer. The traditional method of curing cancer includes chemotherapy and pills. But it is effective only at the early stages of
cancer. Till now, no cure has been found in curing cancer completely. The principle behind chemotherapy involves the
killing of cancer cells by passing high level radiation such as gamma radiation through the body. Moreover chemo causes
post complications such as hair loss, weight loss etc. which makes the person’s life miserable. The other problem which
currently exists in the surgical area is removal of small stones (of size less than a unit sphere) in sensitive organs like uterus
etc. For example, in the case of removal of uterine stones, since the tube is very small to be overloaded, a slight defocus
during incision can cause severe complication and lead to the death of the patient.
The size of uterine tube is really small for the incision procedure to take place. If any stone of fibrous type gets formed
in the walls of this tube, it becomes really difficult to cut open the tube and remove the stone. Sometimes due to deep tear of
the tube, the muscles get damaged and the person may die. So, the important problems that the doctors and the pathologists
face nowadays are finding a remedy for cancer and removal of stones from sensitive areas. The solution that we could
develop is something common to both the problems and this solution will be useful to cure both the problems. That is some
platform which can remove stones with ease and also destroy cancer cells.

2.1 Formation of Formalin Resistant Base
The human cells have unique property of showing

resistance towards the solution called formalin. This
method of implementing formalin resistant base will be
adopted in the fabrication of cells at the pathology centre
by pathologists in the test of bacteria and also in the case of
fabrication of cells. The created base will be made
magnetic using appropriate magnetic fields and
semiconductors (solenoids). Fig.3: Circuit design

2.2 Implementing Suitable Algorithm
Using MATLAB and other machine learning language,

a suitable algorithm to distinguish between abnormal cells
and normal cells will be made and will be integrated with Fig.4: Work plan

around the defected cells as per the algorithm. Finally the
integrated device will be created which can levitate cells
with appropriate intensity.

3. Results
3.1 Comparison Between Types of Levitation
In an experiment conducted, we came to know that

acoustic levitation was the best as compared to other types
of levitation because it levitated the cells to the maximum
extend as compared to other types of levitation.
