Abstract:
A method of extracting biomolecules from live cells comprising: introducing a plurality of magnetized carbon nanotubes (MCNTs) into a live cell, wherein the MCNTs penetrate the cell membrane under a magnetic force; spearing the MCNTs through the cell under the magnetic force, wherein a biomolecule attaches to at least a portion of the MCNTs to form a biomolecule loaded MCNT; removing at least a portion of the biomolecule loaded MCNTs from the cell under the magnetic force; and collecting at least a portion of the biomolecule loaded MCNTs.
