Application

Webinar: Introduction to Gold Nanoparticles - Properties and Applications in Life Science
Ideal for adsorption of thiolated ligands such as oligonucleotides and polyethylene glycols. Also, due to the increased stability, these gold nanoparticles are ideal for use in physical and optical applications.

Note: This product is not ideal for protein adsorption. For gold nanoparticles suitable for adsorption of proteins and other ligands for conjugate development; please see our gold nanoparticles stabilized in PBS.

This material is highly monodisperse (<12% variability in size and shape); and provides significantly improved surface reactivity. Applications include Surface Enhanced Raman Labels, Sensing/Detection, Biological Targeting, Plasmonics and Electronics.
The removal of reactants means that further growth of the nanoparticles is also inhibited leading to a longer lasting material.

We demonstrated the plasmonic metallic nanostructure fabricated by direct nanoimprinting of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). This approach combines the patterning and lift-off processes into a simple one-step process without the need for expensive patterning lithographies and the stringent requirement of the
