The beads are covered with hydrophilic polymers which protect them against aggregation by foreign ions. Terminal functional groups such as ion-exchange groups or reactive groups for covalent immobilization can be used for binding to biomolecules. Ferrofluids can further be used for MRI-diagnostics and magnetic drug targeting applications.Ferrofluids with particle sizes of 50 nm have a single domain core and therefore not separable by an external magnetic field. These substances are real magnetic fluids, and the magnetic isolation is only possible with a High Gradient Magnetic Separator. This is expensive and time consuming; therefore we recommend using magnetic nanoparticles with a minimum size of 118 nm.Cell Isolation
