Magnetically Responsive (Nano)Biocomposites

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Intracellular Delivery II

Part of the book series: Fundamental Biomedical Technologies ((FBMT,volume 7))

Abstract

Many biological materials have been successfully used in various areas of bioscience, biotechnology and environmental technology applications. Biological materials are mainly diamagnetic, which means they do not interact significantly with external magnetic field. Using various postmagnetization procedures, biological materials can be converted into magnetically responsive composite materials which can be efficiently separated using simple magnets or magnetic separation systems. The prepared magnetic biocomposites can be used for many applications, such as immobilization of target compounds, as parts of biosensors, as whole cell biocatalysts or for magnetic removal and separation of xenobiotics and biologically active compounds.
