Abstract

The DNA magnetic nanoparticles are potentially useful in isolating and purifying DNA or RNA, directing-target-medicines, the development of DNA biosensors and biochips. Surface functionalized magnetic nanoparticles with monodispersed shape and size were prepared by coating nano-sized γ-Fe2O3 with silica in reverse microemulsion, and then thiol-compounds were immobilized onto the magnetic nanoparticles. After immobilizing oligoDNA modified with thiol-disulfide on the surface of the fictionalized magnetic nanoparticles, we obtained DNA-magnetic nanoparticles. The efficiency of the single-linking probes loading at the surfaces of magnetic nanoparticles was examined via hybridization experiment. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering methods were also effectively applied to observing the immobilization and hybridization processes mentioned above. The results demonstrated oligoDNA being availably connected to the surface of the magnetic nanoparticles.
