The invention discloses preparation of dendritic molecule-modifiedhydrophilic immunomagnetic beads and application of the hydrophilic immunomagnetic beads to rapid and efficient 
cell capture. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, synthesizing 
magnetic nanoparticles through a hydrothermal method; hydrolyzing ethyl 
orthosilicate and modifying with a silylating 
reagent in order that the surface of a material is rich in amino groups; 
coupling dendritic molecules to the surface of the material in order that the material is hydrophilic; lastly, fixing an 
antibody to the surface of the material to prepare a capture substrate capable of recognizing 
tumor cells specifically. As proved by experiments, the hydrophilic immunomagnetic beads modified by the 
antibody and the dendritic molecules can shorten the time of combining the material and cells, perform high-specificity recognition and capture 
tumor cells rapidly, and capturing efficiency of 86+ / -5 percent can be achieved only in 15 minutes; meanwhile, the activity of the cells is kept, and the 
tumor cells can be successfully separated from 
whole blood into which a tumor 
cell standard is added. A template-free, low-cost and low-
toxicity material is applied to 
cell capture, so that the method is novel, convenient, practical and efficient, and has a tremendous clinical application potential.
