Abstract:
Enrichment and purification of bacteria from complex matrices are crucial for their detection and investigation, in which magnetic separation techniques have recently show great application advantages. However, currently used magnetic particles all have their own limitations: Magnetic microparticles exhibit poor binding capacity with targets, while magnetic nanoparticles suffer slow magnetic response and high loss rate during treatment process. Herein, we used a highly controllable layer-by-layer assembly method to fabricate quick-response magnetic nanospheres (MNs), and with Salmonella typhimurium as a model, we successfully achieve their rapid and efficient enrichment. The MNs combined the advantages of magnetic microparticles and nanoparticles. On the one hand, the MNs had a fast magnetic response, and almost 100% of the MNs could be recovered by 1 min attraction with a simple magnetic scaffold. Hence, using antibody conjugated MNs (immunomagnetic nanospheres, IMNs) to capture bacteria hardly generated loss and did not need complex separation tools or techniques. On the other hand, the IMNs showed much excellent capture capacity. With 20 min interaction, almost all of the target bacteria could be captured, and even only one bacterium existing in the samples was not missed, comparing with the immunomagnetic microparticles which could only capture less than 50% of the bacteria. Besides, the IMNs could achieve the same efficient enrichment in complex matrices, such as milk, fetal bovine serum, and urine, demonstrating their good stability, strong anti-interference ability, and low nonspecific adsorption. In addition, the isolated bacteria could be directly used for culture, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyses, and fluorescence immunoassay without a release process, which suggested our IMNs-based enrichment strategy could be conveniently coupled with the downstream identification and analysis techniques. Thus, the MNs provided by this work showed great superiority in bacteria enrichment, which would be a promising tool for bacteria detection and investigation.Keywords:

Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), including those of transition metals, such as iron oxide nanoparticles, cobalt oxide nanoparticles, and ferrite nanoparticles with diameters between 3 nm and 34 nm have been developed by a wet chemical method. These MNPs were modified with the functional groups, and introduced into cancer cells. SiO2-shelled ferrite nanoparticles have been discussed for the use in hyperthermia treatments on the basis of measurements of their AC magnetic susceptibilities.

Abstract Downstream processing using magnetic adsorbent particles, so called magnetic beads, is a promising technology for future bioseparation challenges for high‐value as well as for mid‐priced products. Magnetic adsorbent based separation currently applies the same ligand technologies as chromatographic separation. After binding, magnetic forces are used for the separation of protein loaded beads from crude bio suspensions. The concept has been proven in many proof of principle examples but few pilot scale processes, due to two main hurdles: Improved, cheaper magnetic adsorbents are required, as are improved magnetic separators. This review examines where magnetic bead based separations can fit into a downstream process before studying several state of the art synthesis processes for magnetic beads and their magnetic and sorptive properties. An overview of magnetic separator technology is given with special focus on bioprocessing. Examples of the separation and purification of proteins applying magnetic beads to a biosuspension is shown.

Work presented here describes a simple and convenient process to highly efficient and direct DNA separation with functionalized silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles. Iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles and silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles were obtained uniformly and the silica coating thickness could be easily controlled in a range from 10 to 50 nm by changing the concentration of silica precursor (TEOS) including the controlled magnetic strength and particle size. A change in the surface hydrophilicity on the nanoparticles was introduced by aminosilanization to enhance the selective DNA separation resulting from electrostatic interaction. The efficiency of the DNA separation was explored via the function of the amino-group numbers, particle size, the amount of the nanoparticles used, and the concentration of NaCl salt.

We present a simple polymer-mediated process of assembling magnetic FePt nanoparticles on a solid substrate. Alternatively absorbing the PEI molecule and FePt nanoparticles on a HO-terminated solid surface leads to a smooth FePt nanoparticle assembly with controlled assembly thickness and dimension. Magnetic measurements show that the thermally annealed FePt nanoparticle assembly as thin as three nanoparticle layers is ferromagnetic. The magnetization direction of this thin FePt nanoparticle assembly is readily controlled with the laser-assisted magnetic writing. The reported process can be applied to various substrates, nanoparticles, and functional macromolecules and will be useful for future magnetic nanodevice fabrication.

Immune magnetic separation is a new method for separation and concentration of foodborne pathogens.The conventional magnetic separator with low strength and gradient could not capture magnetic beads in nano sizes.This study developed a magnetic bioseparator based nano-sized magnetic beads and it was evaluated using E.coli O157H7as model and conventional standard method,colony counting,for the determination of E.coli cells.Three different sizes of magnetic nanoparticles with the diameters of 30 nm,100nm and 180 nm were used for separation of E.coli cells at the concentrations of 102-106 CFU·mL-1.When the magnetic separation times were no less than 60 min,60sand 40 srespectively,the capture efficiency of E.coli cells was no less than 95%.The relative standard deviations for parallel tests were less than 7.0%.

Various techniques such as culture, PCR and enzyme immunoassay have been used to detect Helicobacter pylori infection in human faecal specimens. Attempts to culture H. pylori have had limited success as the bacterium exists predominantly in a non-culturable (coccoid) form in the faeces. Several PCR protocols, differing from each other in the choice of genomic targets and primers, have been used to detect H. pylori infection. Substances in faeces that inhibit PCR have been removed by various pre-PCR steps such as filtration through a polypropylene membrane, biochemical separation by column chromatography and isolation of H. pylori with immunomagnetic beads, the former two techniques yielding results with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity. An enzyme immunoassay based on the detection of H. pylori antigen in faeces has become a convenient tool for the pre-treatment diagnosis of the infection. The stool antigen assay is convenient, especially for children, as it involves neither surgery nor the discomfort associated with the urea breath test. However, its applicability in monitoring eradication therapy has been controversial, as the assay can detect dead or partially degraded bacteria long after actual eradication, thus giving false positive results.
