A novel composition of particles with a magnetic core encapsulated in a polymeric gel, offering versatile applications in biotech and research.
This technology encompasses the development of unique particles that consist of a magnetic core coated in a polymeric gel, specifically polyacrylamide, with variations in the gel composition to include additives like albumin. These particles are designed to be functionalized and labeled for various applications, including but not limited to, fluorescence labeling and specific molecule capture. The production method involves emulsifying magnetic beads with monomers and a polymerization initiator to encapsulate the beads in the polymer gel.
