Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of magnetic material preparation technology, specifically relating to a carboxyl magnetic silica microsphere with controllable particle size, its one-step preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Magnetic microspheres are a novel material with advantages such as easy magnetic separation and good adsorption performance. They have wide applications in magnetic physics, chemical engineering, environmental monitoring, immobilized enzymes, protein separation, cell separation, targeted drug delivery, and immunoassay. Magnetic microspheres must possess narrow particle size distribution, high magnetic responsiveness, and high surface functional group density. Functionalized magnetic microspheres firstly exhibit strong paramagnetism, enabling rapid aggregation in a magnetic field and uniform dispersion upon removal from the magnetic field. Secondly, they possess a suitable and uniform particle size, ensuring sufficient magnetic responsiveness and good dispersibility. Thirdly, they possess abundant surface-active groups, allowing coupling with biochemical substances and separation from the sample under the influence of an external magnetic field. Generally, functionalized magnetic microspheres for application in the biological field need to meet several conditions: ① high magnetic responsiveness; ② high surface functional group content; ③ controllable particle size to meet different needs; ④ specific binding to biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids, exhibiting good biocompatibility.
[0003] Many functionalized magnetic microspheres have been reported, but none can simultaneously meet multiple requirements such as superparamagnetism, stable dispersion in a medium, high surface functional group content, tunable particle size between nanometer and micrometer levels, and specific adsorption of proteins. In existing carboxylated magnetic microsphere preparations, most are limited by particle size (not reaching the micrometer level) and low carboxyl content, resulting in low specific adsorption protein content, which greatly restricts their applications. Therefore, this application provides a carboxylated magnetic microsphere with tunable particle size, capable of one-step preparation of Fe3O4@SiO2-COOH composite microspheres with a particle size between 0.5 μm and 10 μm. These low-micrometer-scale carboxylated magnetic silica microspheres can be used for immunoglobulin preparation to overcome the aforementioned shortcomings. Furthermore, the preparation method is simple and can be scaled up for production. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention aims to design and provide a carboxyl magnetic silica microsphere with controllable particle size, a one-step preparation method thereof, and its application.
[0005] This invention uses Fe3O4 magnetic particles as the magnetic core, coats them with a layer of silicon dioxide, and uses aminosilane compounds and diacid compounds as functionalizing agents. While grafting functional groups onto the surface, an amidation reaction of amino and carboxyl groups occurs, and Fe3O4@SiO2-COOH composite microspheres are obtained in a one-step reaction.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the following technical solution is adopted:
[0007] On one hand, the present invention provides a carboxyl magnetic silica microsphere with controllable particle size, using Fe3O4 magnetic particles as the magnetic core, with a silica layer coated on the surface of the magnetic core, and using aminosilane compounds and diacid compounds as functionalizing reagents to graft carboxyl groups on the surface to obtain Fe3O4@SiO2-COOH composite microspheres.
[0008] The aforementioned carboxyl magnetic silica microspheres have a particle size controllable, wherein the particle size of the carboxyl magnetic silica microspheres is 0.5 μm-10 μm.
[0009] Secondly, the present invention provides a one-step preparation method for the aforementioned carboxyl magnetic silica microspheres with controllable particle size, comprising the following steps:
[0010] (1) Weigh out the oil phase alkane solvent, alkylphenol and ethylene oxide condensate, and sodium silicate aqueous solution, mix them and then ultrasonically disperse them to form a W / O emulsion system (i.e., water-in-oil emulsion system). Then add Fe3O4 magnetic particles and ultrasonically disperse them in the W / O emulsion system and stir evenly.
[0011] (2) Add long-chain fatty acid compounds dissolved in oil-phase alkane solvent dropwise, react at room temperature for 2-6 hours under nitrogen protection, add diacid compounds dissolved in deionized water by ultrasonication to form diacid compound solution, heat to 80℃, add aminosilane compounds dropwise, stir for 2-6 hours, and after washing with alternating ethanol and water, obtain Fe3O4@SiO2-COOH composite microspheres.
[0012] In the preparation method described above, the oil phase alkane solvent includes hexane, heptane, octane, hexadecane, and octadecane;
[0013] The alkylphenol-ethylene oxide condensate includes OP-4, OP-7, OP-9, and OP-10.
[0014] In the preparation method described above, the volume ratio of the sodium silicate aqueous solution to the oil phase alkane solvent added in step (1) is 1:25 to 3:10.
[0015] The volume ratio of the alkylphenol to ethylene oxide condensate and the oil phase alkane solvent added in step (1) is 1:25 to 2:5;
[0016] The mass ratio of the Fe3O4 magnetic particles to the oil phase alkane solvent added in step (1) is 0.2:79 to 4:79;
[0017] The concentration of the sodium silicate solution is 0.5-5M.
[0018] In the preparation method described above, the concentration of the diacid compound solution is 2-20 wt%.
[0019] The mass of the aminosilane compound is 2 to 27 wt% of the mass of the oil phase alkane solvent added in step (1).
[0020] The preparation method described herein includes long-chain fatty acid compounds that are soluble in oil-phase alkane solvents, preferably including tetradecanoic acid, octadecanoic acid, and oleic acid.
[0021] The preparation method described herein, wherein the diacid compounds include compounds containing two carboxyl groups or diacid anhydrides, preferably including maleic acid, succinic acid, maleic anhydride, and succinic anhydride;
[0022] The aminosilane compounds include 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH550) and 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (KH540).
[0023] The preparation method described above, wherein the Fe3O4 magnetic particles are prepared by:
[0024] Dissolve FeCl3 6H2O and Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2 7H2O in deionized water, stir, and heat to 50-60℃. Add PEG8000 and react for 10 min. Add ammonia water, heat to 80℃, react for 15 min, stop stirring, let it settle naturally for 1 h, cool to room temperature, and wash.
[0025] Preferably, the mass ratio of FeCl3 6H2O to Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2 7H2O is 0.27:1 to 0.9:1.
[0026] Thirdly, the present invention provides the application of the aforementioned carboxyl magnetic silica microspheres with controllable particle size as immune microspheres.
[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0028] The particle size of the composite microspheres of this invention can be changed by altering the ratio of sodium silicate and surfactant, changing the rotation speed, etc., thereby achieving particle size control between 0.5-10 μm, which can meet most needs. It also has superparamagnetic properties and good dispersibility. After activation, the Fe3O4@SiO2-COOH composite microspheres have a high bovine serum albumin adsorption rate.
[0029] The preparation method of this invention is simple, highly controllable, and time-saving. The particle size of the prepared magnetic silica microspheres can be adjusted between the nanometer and micrometer levels. It can also be used for large-scale production. The prepared microspheres have good dispersibility, high magnetic content, and high carboxyl content. They can specifically bind to proteins and have a relatively high protein coupling capacity, which can be further used for the separation of proteins and other biological macromolecules.
