Magnetic ionic liquids, methods of making and uses thereof as solvents in the extraction and preservation of nucleic acids

摘要

Described herein are methods for making and using magnetic ionic liquid that have at least one cationic component and at least one anionic component, where at least one of the cationic components or the anionic components is a paramagnetic component. The magnetic ionic liquids are capable of manipulation by an external magnetic field.
