Magnetic bead separation is widely used in the life sciences field. From cell sorting to molecular diagnostics, this technology can be used with a wide range of volumes, from a few nanoliters in ...

When you consider that almost every single cell in your body has more than a meter of DNA coiled up inside its nucleus, it seems like it should be pretty easy to get some to study. But with all the ...

The absorbance/opacity time change during separation can typically be fitted to a sigmoidal curve. The magnetophoretic behavior may then be defined by t 50 (the time when the difference between ...

MIT engineers have come up with a method of extracting clean water and reusable oil from oil spills using nanoparticles that turn the oil into magnetic ferrofluids. When oil spills occur, the polluted ...
