Efficient removal of biological contaminants from microbially reduced graphene oxide via a TRIzol-based protocol
Valentina Palmieri, Francesco Amato, Giulia Artemi, Maria Antonietta Grosso, Valeria Ferrara, Caterina Perfili, Ginevra Friggeri, Giordano Perini, Antonio Minopoli, Francesca Sciandra, Andrea Giacomo Marrani, Marco De Spirito, Massimiliano PapiA TRIzol/chloroform phase-separation protocol efficiently removes Sporosarcina pasteurii biomass from bacterially reduced graphene oxide. The purified rGO, recovered at the interphase, preserves its sheet morphology and is fully biocompatible.
