  • Publication number: 20140295574
    Abstract: A method is provided for modifying a radioactive carbon nanotube (CNT) carrier. Magnetic molecules are used. The modified CNT is highly specified to disease. Surface of the CNT has functional grafts for catching antigen/antibody. Antigen/antibody thus caught on the surface is increased in number. Thus, the present invention improves sensitivity and accuracy of disease detection and greatly saves cost. The present invention can be applied for sample purification or massive disease detection.

  • Publication number: 20140295433
    Abstract: A detection method for cancer is provided. Magnetic carbon beads are used. The carbon beads are highly specified to a cancer. Surface area of grafted antigen are broadened by grafting functional molecules. Number of antigen is increased on the surface. Thus, the present invention improves sensitivity and accuracy of disease detection and greatly saves cost. The present invention can be applied for sample purification or massive disease detection.

  • Publication number: 20130337434
    Abstract: A method of preparing magnetic bead type nasopharyngeal enzyme immunoassay reagents by polymerase chain reaction according to this invention offers in-vitro diagnostic reagents by means of utilizing nanotechnology. This method uses magnetic beads to coat EBV nuclear antigen (Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen, EBNA1) or early antigen (Early Antigen, EA). The use of polymerase chain reaction (polymerase Chain Reaction PCR) is for amplified detection. It is found that positive controls of different concentrations, after amplified by PCR, change in their brightness and concentration. That reveals the EBV antigens on the magnetic beads can specifically detect IgA antigens in the serum.
