Silica coated Magnetic Nanoparticles (SMNPs): Capture and Identification of Escherichia coli Cells using Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy

, , , , , , , , , ,
Silica coated Magnetic nanoparticles (SMNPs; SiO2/Fe3O4 + Fe2O3) were prepared by encapsulation of iron oxide NPs with silica dioxide using the sol-gel method and characterized through transmission and scanning electron microscopic imaging, magnetic hysteresis and [...]
