In case you have difficulty finding a strong enough field, there is a company in St. Louis that makes a medical device that creates 3D fields strong enough to rip a piece of metal around inside the brain under computer control for Parkinson surgery.
Their fields are in excess of 1 to 3 tesla, I believe. Anyway the fields are generated using helium cooled superconducting coils. Just in case you have difficulty getting the field strength you need, you might be able to use their equipment. - Robert - Robert A.
