Abstract
Polystyrene- and albumin-based magnetic microspheres for red blood cell sep aration were modified and characterized by scanning electron and atomic for ce microscopy. Albumin microspheres show higher coupling efficiency with th e protein, and protein-modified albumin microspheres bind the red blood cel ls more efficiently than the polystyrene-based microspheres.
