Semipermeable magnetic microcapsules containing polyethyleneimine (PEI) as a DNA surrogate are shown to trap 14C-benzopyrene as a model DNA damaging agent within the gut, beef and decreased bran fibre were found to increase its availability, paralleling risk alterations found in nutritional epidemiology. These novel microcapsules are capable of intercepting a range of substances relevant to DNA damage.
