Gold Nanoparticles

Gold nanoparticles have unique optical properties and are used in diagnostics, imaging, and targeted therapy in biomedicine. They can also be found in electronics and catalysis.

Advantages:
– Monodisperse without agglomeration and aggregation
– Comprehensive characterization including TEM, UV-Vis, and DLS
– Wide size ranges from 5-200 nm
– Various surface properties: polymer or silica coated, functionalized and conjugated

Applications:
– Probes for dark-field microscopy, electron microscopy and near-infrared fluorescent microscopy
– Diagnostics for lateral flow immunoassay
– Sensors for colorimetric detection and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy
– Drug targeting, delivery and photothermal therapy
