Abstract :
This work shows the potential and versatility of MgFFF as a method for separation and characterization of magnetic nanospheres, such as the immunospecific nanoparticles used for labeling biological cells for magnetic separation. Samples of magnetic nanoparticles are submitted to analysis by MgFFF. Broadly polydisperse samples are eluted under programmed field decay conditions and quantitative sample data are determined from the elution times using a data reduction method.
