Abstract
A method for cellular separation, including: combining sperm with magnetic particles comprising a negative zeta potential charge to form an admixture, each magnetic particle being no greater than 1,000 nm; binding a subpopulation of said sperm to said magnetic particles through an electrical charge interaction to provide a bound subpopulation; and magnetically separating said bound subpopulation from unbound sperm.
Claims9
A method for cellular separation, comprising:
- combining sperm cells with magnetic particles comprising a negative zeta potential charge to form an admixture, each magnetic particle having a diameter of 30 to 1,000 nm, and the magnetic particles binding a subpopulation of said sperm cells comprising a positive zeta potential charge solely through an electrical charge interaction to provide a bound sperm cell subpopulation;
- and
- magnetically separating said bound sperm cell subpopulation from unbound sperm cells.
