A simple and rapid microextraction procedure based on the application of magnetic nanoparticles and hydrophobic 1-Hexylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate [Hpy][PF6] ionic liquid (IL) was applied to trace determination of gatifloxacin. A mixture of [Hpy][PF6] and magnetic nanoparticles was injected into the sample solution containing the analyse of interest and a cloudy solution was forme...

toluidine blue o (tbo) is a cationic dye which is extensively used in the industries. in the present paper a simple and efficient wet chemical method was introduced for removal of tbo from waste aqueous solution. magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotubes were synthesized using commercially available multi-wall carbon nanotubes and magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles which were examined for removal o...

cobalt ferrite is an important magnetic material due to their large magneto-crystalline anisotropy, high cohercivity, moderate saturation magnetization and chemical stability.in this study, cobalt ferrites nanoparticles have been synthesized by the co-precipitation method and a new microemulsion route. we examined the cation occupancy in the spinel structure based on the “rietveld with energies...

in this study, we synthesized herceptin conjugated magnetic nanoparticles (hmns) as an alternative probe to discover the levels of her2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor-2) in the surface of cells. these nanoparticles can be used by magnetic resonance imaging (mri) (non-invasive methods) for screening the patients with her2 positive or negative tumors. dextran coated iron oxide nanopartic...

results the maximum si was obtained at the highest applied flip angle (45°). the linear relationship between si and nanoparticle concentration was seen up to 112.21 and 98.83 μmol fe/l for the short (10°) and the long (45°) flip angles, respectively (r2 = 0.95). these values were reduced up to 48.54 and 42.73 μmol fe/l for these flip angles with r2 of 0.99. conclusions the maximum si will be in...

background: increased impervious surfaces in urban areas not only increase runoff volume and peak flow, but also worsen urban storm water pollution. the polluted runoff has many adverse impacts on human life and environment. the purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the efficiency of sand columns coated with nanoparticles of iron oxide in the presence and absence of a magnetic fi...

Detection of Mycobacterium paratuber culosis in feces is complicated by the slowdivision and the lipid composition of the cell wall of the bacterium. In this study, we compared a rapid and sensitive method for direct detection of M. paratuberculosis with anti-paratuberculosis chicken IgY-conjugated magnetic nanoparticles versus commercially available micro-sized paramagnetic beads. Tenfold seri...

BACKGROUND Superparamagnetic nanoparticles are currently used as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging. These particles can also be used as drug carriers for local chemotherapy, called magnetic drug targeting. Using an external magnetic field, colloidal nanoparticles can be directed to a specific body compartment (i.e. tumor). MATERIALS AND METHODS After magnetic drug targeting in an...
