Application of superparamagnetic iron oxide particles

[bocsci11]

Superparamagnetic iron oxide microbeads have broad applications in biomedicine, such as magnetic cell isolation and biomolecules purification, magnetic resonance imaging of diseased tissues, magnetic immunoassay, targeted delivery of drugs and antigens, hyperthermia aided chemo/radiotherapy, and so on.

Yes, broadly agree with initial assessment.  This technology has been around for many, many years, and only now is it beginning to see the light of day with respect to commercial application.  We at MicroChem are interested in thoughts from the biotechnology community with respect to how we can assist in developing specific applications for superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, as we have in-house synthetic and formulation experience for direct lithographic patterning of these particles, for med-sep and other applications.
