Using Magnetometry to Monitor Cellular Incorporation and Subsequent Biodegradation of Chemically Synthetized Iron Oxide Nanoparticles

This video introduces a fast and efficient method for the synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles and the use of magnetometry to photograph transformation in the biological environment. Magnetic nanoparticles have attracted increased attention for biomedical applications, And it is important to understand that fate once internalized in cells. This is achieved here by measuring the cellular magnetism.

For both magnetic nanoparticles synthesis and measurements, result could be affected by contamination. Use well-cleaned chemical vials and make sure that the magnetometer equipment is free of contamination. The magnetometry samples holder is usually used for powder samples.
