  • Patent number: 8093026
    Abstract: The magnetic colloidal particles comprise a core and an envelope in which the core is magnetic and is coated with at least one polymer comprising functional groups X chosen from amine, hydroxyl, thiol, aldehyde, ester, anhydride, acid chloride, carbonate, carbamate, isocyanate and isothiocyanate groups, or mixtures thereof, at least one fraction of which has reacted with other functional groups of the envelope, and the envelope comprises a polymer bearing ionizable functional groups, Z and Z?, which may be identical or different, chosen from amine, carboxylic acid, ester, anhydride, aldehyde, thiol, disulfide, ?-halocarbonyl, sulfonic acid, maleimide, isocyanate and isothiocyanate groups, which have partially reacted with the functional groups X of the core. These magnetic colloidal particles can be used to isolate biological material.

  • Patent number: 7060804
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for isolating proteins and/or protein and nucleic acid associations in a sample, comprising steps which consist in: contacting said sample and magnetic colloidal particles comprising a core and a coat wherein: the core is magnetic and is coated with at least a polymer comprising functional groups X selected among amine, hydroxyl, thiol, aldehyde, ester, anhydride, acid chloride, carbonate, carbamate, isocyanate and isothiocyanate groups or mixtures thereof, whereof at least one fraction has reacted with other functional groups of the coat, and the coat consists of a polymer bearing functional groups Z and Z?, capable of ionisation, identical or different, selected among amine, carboxylic acid, ester, anhydride, aldehyde, thiol, disulphide, ?-halogenocarbonyl, sulphonic acid, maleimide, isocyanate and isothiocyanate groups to form a mixture; incubating said mixture in predetermined conditions; and separating from the mixture the protein and/or protein and nucleic acid associatio
