Magnetic particles in the size range of 100 nm to 100 µm are suitable for the separation at permanent magnets. They are available with different matrix materials:
dextran
crosslinked dextran
silica-fortified dextran
bionized nanoferrite ( 100 nm)
polystyrene
poly(lactic acid) (PLA)
silica
chitosan
poly(ethylene imine)
Iron oxide particles
Smaller magnetic particles with diameters of 20 nm to 100 nm require a separation in a high gradient magnetic field or via size exclusion chromatography. They are available with biocompatible polysaccharide coatings:
dextran
crosslinked dextran
bionized nanoferrite (80 nm)
Please choose a matrix material for your special selection of functional groups /coatings and diameters of the particles.
