Rapid and Controlled Transition of Magnetic Nano- to Micro-particles: A Useful Feature for Bioseparations
This work describes the use of stimuli-responsive polymers to control the transition of magnetic nanoparticles (mNPs) to magnetic microparticles. Compared to magnetic microparticles, mNPs are advantageous for bioseparations (e.g., immunoassays, immunoprecipitations) for two reasons. They [...]
