(a) The real component of AC volume susceptibility, χ′, measured from coated MNPs vs frequency suppressed in PEG-PEI and CM-dextran MNPs at frequencies 100–1000 s−1, a result of increased hydrodynamic volume and reduce mobility. (b) The imaginary component of AC susceptibility, χ″, measured from coated MNPs vs frequency displays a peak which shifted to lower frequencies when MNPs were coated with CM-dextran or PEG-PEI to yield particles having larger measured hydrodynamic diameter (~200 nm) compared to their uncoated precursor MNPs (~80 nm). Other coated MNPs having sizes similar to the citrate-stabilized precursor MNPs had both χ′ and χ″ that remained close to original. MNP concentration was 1 ± 0.05 mg Fe/ml for all measurements.
