Abstract

Magnetic bioseparation has been an essential process for decades in all areas of biosciences. A variety of separation processes are being developed. Recently, much attention is being paid to applying magnetic nanoparticles for magnetic bioseparation. The purpose of this review paper is to show the importance of magnetic bioseparation by magnetic nanoparticles. Several synthesis and modification methods of magnetic nanoparticles are documented along with interactions involved in binding of the biomolecules with magnetic nanoparticles. Some practical examples of magnetic bioseparation processes are also discussed to show the efficiency of magnetic bioseparation technique.
