Ahoy,

While I am a part of the original BOMB team and have been using many of the protocols extensively, as well as some of the beautiful beads that Tomek made, there is an aspect that I feel like I should be able to answer but cant.

If one could freely choose, what would be the ideal Magnetite Core Particle size for consequent silica coating?

Both changes in size but also the crystalline structure influence the magnetic properties.

Too big and they both flock and sediment too fast too small and they are hardly magnetic.

The finished beads are more efficient the smaller they are but since the shell contributes much to that size how important is the core diameter.
If anyone knows, please share.
