| Description | Magnetic hydrophilic nonporous P(HEMA-co-EDMA), P(HEMA-coGMA) and PGMA microspheres were prepared by dispersion (co)polymerization of HEMA and EDMA or GMA in the presence of several kinds of magnetite.It was found that some components used in the preparation of magnetic carriers interfered with PCR. DNA isolated from bacterial cells of Bifidobacterium longum was used in PCR evaluation of non-interferingmagnetic microspheres. |
