BACKGROUND: Several studies of magnetic carrier technology have focused on the application of separation technology, because the magnetic support can separate the target from the reaction medium by application of a magnetic field and because the magnetic carrier can be easily recovered. In the present study, superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) modified by epichlorohydrin was employed as a support whose surface could be coated with starch. The starch-coated support was used for isolating human salivary amylases.
