摘要:
Provided herein are compositions including biocompatible magnetizeable nanoparticles. The nanoparticles have a diameter (average diameter) from about 10 to about 300 nanometers and are biocompatible and magnetic. The nanoparticles may be a disc formed from iron oxide. The disc may be comjugated to a target-binding moiety capable of binding a target. The target may be cancer cells, pathogens, fat cells, or atherosclerotic plaques.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to nucleic acid extraction and purification methods and devices to accomplish the same. The present disclosure proposes a novel approach to this problem wherein cell isolation and nucleic acid purification can be integrated in a single "step," by using the same solid phase for both cell adsorption and nucleic acid purification. This is achieved by binding the cells to a solid support as a first step. The same solid support is then used under conditions that lyse the bound cells, and then subsequently enable the nucleic acid to bind to the support. Methods of the present disclosure relate to the isolation of nucleic acid, and especially to a method for isolating DNA from cells, biological or environmental samples using antibiotics, which bind nucleic acids.
摘要:
Provided herein are compositions, devices, and methods including nanofiber compositions comprising a polymer and nanoparticles including one or more of nickel, cobalt, silver, and tetraphenylborate, wherein the compositions are capable of binding targets in the blood related to blood disorders symptomatic of kidney disease and/or failure.
