Common technique for biomaterials recovery in genetics is freeze-squeeze procedure. However, this method found a new application in carbon nanotubes field in a selective separation of metallic and semiconducting nanotubes. None-commercial agarose gel acts as a selective absorbent for semiconducting nanotubes and allows to separate them from metallic type of nanotubes. In this work we point out the great potential of freeze-squeeze technique in the field of separation of nanotubes and prove that the post-separation purification procedure is crucial to perform the quality and quantity estimation of the fractionated samples. Furthermore, the detailed quantitative analysis of the efficiency of this process is shown. Additionally, we emphasize that this technique can be used for high-scale separation of metallic counterparts of single-walled carbon nanotubes due to its simplicity and low cost.
