Carrier polymer particle, process for producing the same, magnetic particle for specific trapping, and process for producing the same
A process for producing carrier polymer particles comprising covering the surface of organic polymer particles having a particle diameter of 0.1 to 20 micrometers with a saccharide by chemically bonding the organic polymers and the saccharide.
1. A process for producing carrier polymer particles, the process comprising:
reacting an organic polymer particle precursor with a diamine to form organic polymer particles comprising a first functional group; then
reacting the first functional group of the organic polymer particles with a second functional group of a saccharide, thereby covering a surface of the organic polymer particles with the saccharide to form surface-covered organic polymer particles; and then
chemically bonding a probe for specifically trapping a target material to the saccharide of the surface-covered organic polymer particles,
to form carrier polymer particles,
wherein the organic polymer particles have a particle diameter of 0.1 to 20 micrometers.
2. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the first functional group is at least one selected from the group consisting of a carboxyl group, an epoxy group, an amino group, and a tosyl group.
3. The process of claim 1 , further comprising:
extracting saccharide physically adsorbed on the surface of the surface-covered organic polymer particles by treating the surface-covered organic polymer particles with a basic solution.
4. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the saccharide is a polysaccharide.
5. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the chemical bonding of the probe to the saccharide forms at least one amide bond.
6. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the first functional group is an amino group.
7. The process of claim 1 , wherein the organic polymer particles are magnetic particles.
8. The process of claim 1 , wherein the second functional group is a carboxymethyl group.
