Functionalization and Haemolytic analysis of pure superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticle for hyperthermia application.

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONPs) are widely used in clinical research. The single domain nanoparticles are used in magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) to treat cancer. When nanoparticles are exposed to an external magnetic field, it generates heat destroying tumour cells.
