The nanocomposite preparation protocol provides a useful strategy to obtain nano-particles for separation sciences with improved adsorption performance
A team from China has developed a solid-phase extraction procedure that can be used to isolate hemoglobin from complex sample matrices in work which will be of interest to those working in protein separation and proteomics. The chitosan/multi-wall carbon nanotube nanocomposites are prepared via surface deposition-cross linking and compared to conventional chitosan adsorbents, the described nanocomposite has a very short adsorption equilibrium time and a high adsorption capacity.
