Description The dispersion copolymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) in a toluene/2-methylpropan-1-ol mixture in the presence of Fe3O4 nanoparticles coated with oleic acid, produced monodisperse magnetic poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-glycidyl methacrylate) (P(HEMA-GMA)) microspheres. Oxirane groups of the microspheres were ammonolyzed and then functionalized with streptavidin using cyanuric chloride. The final product contained 0.67 mg of streptavidin per gram of wet magnetic P(HEMA-GMA) microspheres. The microspheres were characterized by elemental analysis, scanning electron microscopy, IR, UV–VIS and atomic absorption spectroscopy The streptavidin-modified magnetic P(HEMA-GMA) microspheres were used for immobilization of biotinylated DNA and subsequent selective isolation of target DNA from complex samples using DNA/DNA hybridisation.
