Magnetite Nanoparticles – PVP by Molecular Depot is a magnetite nanoparticle preparation with a polyvinylpyrrolidone coating, of about 20 nm plus or minus 5 nm. Polyvinylpyrrolidone adsorbs to the iron oxide surface and keeps the particles dispersed by steric rather than charge repulsion, so the suspension tolerates salt better than a bare one. It is used in magnetic separation, as a contrast and hyperthermia agent in research and in magnetic nanomaterials and catalysis studies. Each unit contains 50 mg. MBP supplies Molecular Depot nanomaterials to research labs in the United States, Canada and worldwide.
