Abstract

Amino group-functionalized magnetic particles have wide applications in enzyme immobilization, DNA extraction, drug delivery, water purification, catalysis, and sensor. In this paper, Fe3O4/PPy microspheres with a well-defined coreshell structure have been prepared through an interfacial polymerization approach without surfactant. The magnetic composite spheres were characterized with XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM, and magnetometry techniques, and further tested as the adsorbent to isolate plasmid DNA from Escherichia coli (E. coli) DH5α cells. The magnetic separation yields high-quality plasmid DNA in satisfying productivity as compared to the conventional phenolchloroform extraction.
