Magnetic separation has become increasingly popular in biomedical science and industry. This technology uses magnetic properties of micro/nano-sized particles to separate macromolecules of interest, ...

Magnetic separation techniques have long been at the forefront of mineral processing, offering a robust method for recovering valuable magnetic minerals from complex ore matrices. The process ...

Understanding the process and anticipating the problems can help ensure successful separations. The use of magnetic beads for capturing biological molecules has become commonplace in the life sciences ...

The entire sample is subjected to a well-defined magnetic force, so variations are limited to the properties of the suspension (particles, buffer). Its precise separation parameters ensure a smooth ...

The magnetic power to attract—and repel—is used in several different ways to sort and separate materials within recycling streams. Magnets can be seen everywhere across the recycling spectrum. From ...

Understanding how constituent magnetic fields affect the final position of retained magnet beads, particularly in high throughput screening (HTS) applications, is important when developing protocols ...

MIT engineers have come up with a method of extracting clean water and reusable oil from oil spills using nanoparticles that turn the oil into magnetic ferrofluids. When oil spills occur, the polluted ...

Possibly the only good thing to come out of the Deepwater Horizon disaster is the subsequent increase in research into finding more effective ways to cle_n up oil spills, including such initiatives as ...
