Cell arrays are of foremost importance for many applications in pharmaceutical research or fundamental biology. Although arraying techniques have been widely investigated for adherent cells, organization of cells in suspension has been rarely considered. The arraying of non-adherent cells using the diamagnetic repulsive force is presented.

- Diamagnetic levitation allows for the contactless manipulation of water droplets, which is beneficial for handling chemical and biochemical samples without contamination.
- Under a nonuniform magnetic field, water droplets can be levitated as they experience a repulsive force that balances with other forces, leading to interesting formations and patterns.
- The interactions and forces between the levitating droplets, which can be measured with high precision, change over time as the droplets evaporate.
