The rapidly growing field of biotechnology has created a critical need for simple, fast and high-throughput processes for the separation and purification of biomolecules from biological matrices. In recent years, several bioseparation techniques have been proposed as advanced alternatives to the classical separation methods. These modern processes emphasize ultra-high selective and sensitive analysis to determine promising chemical and biological entities. The current paper discusses the recent developments in the field of biotechnology using magnetic separation techniques based on oligonucleotides as the chemically synthesized and cost-effective biological ligands. In particular, they are very stable and not subject to thermal and chemical degradation. This allows the researchers to use labeled aptamers as highly sensitive and specific olgonucleotide probes in solution, membrane or magnetic nanoparticles-based assay systems. Since aptamers bind their targets with high affinity and specificity, they are promising alternative ligands in the purification of proteins. The purpose of this review paper is to show the critical role of oligonucleotides ligands for separation or purification of biological compounds and ions in complex matrices. Using the suitable aptamers in separation and preconcentration processes is an excellent alternative to the classical ligands. Some practical examples of DNA-based magnetic separation processes are also discussed to show the efficiency of magnetic bioseparation. پرونده مقاله

There is a growing interest in the development of new methods for extraction of REEs from nuclear wastes. In this study, we fabricated a novel material composed of 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxilic acid (PDA) functionalized magnetic graphene oxide (Fe3O4/GO) for extraction of Sm(III) from aqueous solutions. Our interest in selection of carboxyl-containing ligand was due to its good coordination characteristic with Sm (III) which can be used to design a new sorbent. Under the optimized extraction conditions, the calibration graph for Sm (III) was linear in a concentration range of 6.2-784.5 µg L-1 with a correlation coefficient of 0.9900. A detection limit of 1.4 μg L−1 with an enrichment factor of 125 was obtained. Precisions, expressed as relative standard deviation for single-sorbent repeatability and sorbent-to-sorbent reproducibility, were 5.9% and 8.7% (n =5), respectively. Finally, spiked sea and river waters were analysed to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. The high recoveries (>%97) indicates that the suggested protocol is acceptable for determination of Sm (III) ions in the water samples. پرونده مقاله
