Polyethylenimine (PEI) modified Fe3O4/Au nanoparticles were synthesized in aqueous solution and characterized by photo correlation spectroscopy (PCS) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The so-obtained Fe3O4/Au-PEI nanoparticles were capable of efficient electrostatic capture of DNA The maximum. amount of genomic DNA Captured on 1.0 mg Fe3O4/Au-PEI nanoparticles was 90 mu g. The DNA release behavior was studied and the DNA recovery from Fe3O4/Au-PEI nanoparticles approached 100% under optimal conditions. DNA extraction from mammalian cells using Fe3O4/Au-PEI nanoparticles was successfully performed. Up to approximately 43.1 mu g of high-purity (OD260/OD280 ratio = 1.81) genomic DNA was extracted from 10 mg of liver tissue. The results indicated that the prepared Fe3O4/Au-PEI nanoparticles could be Successfully used for DNA Capture and release. Crown Copyright (C) 2009 Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
