Magnetic Nanoparticles for Bioseparation, Biosensing, and Regenerative Medicine

Abstract

This chapter introduces the roles of the rationally designed magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) for bioseparation, biosensing and tissue engineering/regenerative medicine. It examines the synthesis and modification of MNPs, followed by their applications in bioseparation, biosensing, and regenerative medicine. MNPs were initially synthesized through coprecipitation of ferrous and ferric ions in the basic solution while taking dextran or its derivatives as the coating. Most of the clinically used MNPs such as CosmoFerINFeD Ferrisat (Pharmacosmos) and Feridex I.V. (AMAG) Endorem are prepared with this protocol. Bioseparation is a key step in most biotechnology and bioprocess. It purifies or removes biologics from their respective starting material, for example, cell culture media. Biosensing is another area where MNPs have received great attention. The major advantage of MNPs comes from the lack of magnetic background from biological samples, which allows the sensitive measurements. © 2017 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
