Nucleic acid extraction and purification are crucial steps in sample preparation for multiple
diagnostic procedures. Routine methodologies of DNA isolation require benchtop
equipment (eg, centrifuges) and labor-intensive steps. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as
solid-phase sorbents could simplify this procedure. A wide range of surface coatings
employs various molecular interactions between dsDNA and magnetic nano-sorbents.
However, a reliable, comparative evaluation of their performance is complex. In this work …
