• To provide supporting data for a comparative study on MNPs in plasmid DNA extraction.

Main Methods:

• Plasmid DNA isolation using various MNPs.
• Characterization of MNPs using energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
• Analysis of plasmid DNA yield and purity using gel electrophoresis.

Main Results:

• The structural map of the pBI121 plasmid was generated using Vector NTI software.
• Transformed Escherichia coli bacteria were successfully cultured on kanamycin selection media.
• Comparative efficiency of Fe3O4, Fe3O4/SiO2, and Fe3O4/SiO2/TiO2 MNPs in plasmid DNA isolation was determined.

Conclusions:
