NANOXACT GOLD NANORODS – PEG-CARBOXYL

NanoComposix’s gold nanorods are surface plasmon resonant (SPR) rod-shaped nanoparticles with narrow size distributions and uniform shape. The gold nanorods have absorption peaks that are tunable throughout the visible and short wave near-infrared (SWNIR) regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Our purification methods remove ammonium surfactants used during synthesis and replace it with citrate, producing a stable, easily displaceable surface chemistry to use as a base for functionalization with a wide variety of molecules (silica, DNA, antibodies, etc.). We also offer PEG-functionalized nanorods, as well as carboxyl-terminated surfaces for bioconjugation.
PEG carboxyl is covalently bound to the metal surface. The acid provides a highly negatively charged surface for subsequent conjugation to proteins, antibodies or peptides.
NanoXact materials are high quality, unagglomerated and monodisperse nanoparticles.
Provided at 50 OD in water.
