There is always a need to know the use of the product before you buy and use it. And the same goes when you are looking for something that you can use for the research process and similar sort of purposes. There is a wide range of products used in the applications, research and test laboratories. The magnetic silica is one of them. And the magnetic silica beads that come with the coating of silicon dioxide seem to be the best option in this segment. As silica used to have a great ability to merge with the nucleic acid, these beads are going to serve as the efficient as well as a simple tool when there is a need for RNA and DNA purification. There is a wide range of applications like PCR product and their cleaning, clinical applications, genomic DNA purification, etc for which these beads are also used in great amount.
There are two different types of such beads and these are core shell and embedding type. The embedding type of magnetic silica beads is prepared while embedding silica nano particles with the magnetic nano particles. And the core shell type is formed while applying a layer of magnetic particles on the silica core so that it can get coated properly. Magnetic silica microspheres are also able to form a link with the other functional groups.
They can also link with the nucleic acid, protein and special antibodies. Due to this reason, for the RNA and DNA purification processes, these nano particles are used often.
