Paper published in BioChip Journal

A floating magnetic membrane for efficient separation and enrichment of pathogenic bacteria using superparamagnetic nanoparticles and capillary glass tube has been developed. The virtual ‘filter’ can rapidly and selectively capture the target bacteria under continuous flow. This technology can be further expanded for large scale separation and purification of biological components. Watch out more.
