General description
Goldnanoparticles with size of 5 nm and polydispersity index of <0.2 offer unique characteristics and have diverse applications in various industries. PBS maintains a physiological pH and prevents aggregation of nanoparticles. Smaller nanoparticles exhibit unique optical properties, including a strong surface plasmon resonance (SPR), which can be utilized in imaging and sensing applications. Small size also allows for enhanced permeability and retention effect in tumors, making them effective carriers for targeted drug delivery.

Which gold nanoparticle size should I choose for my application?
1 answer-
The size of gold nanoparticle to use is very depandent upon the intended application. Generally, smaller particles offer better sensitivity in applications such as immunogold labeling due to less steric hindrance and the ability to bind more gold nanoparticles to the desired target. Small gold nanoparticles are less visible than larger particles, however, which must also be taken into account.As an application example, particles with a size between 30-50nm are particularly useful for the development of rapid tests such as lateral flow assays.

Why does my gold nanoparticle solution turn violet when I add salt containing buffer?
1 answer-
Due to repulsive forces arising from the surface charge of gold nanoparticles, an energy barrier must be overcome for individual particles to interact. When no (or small) amounts of electrolytes such as NaCl is present, this energy barrier is too strong for interaction to occur between particles. However, upon addition of NaCl this energy barrier is reduced allowing the gold nanoparticles to interact and aggregate. This aggregation causes a phenomenon called surface-plasmon coupling which changes the adsorption maximum of light to a higher wavelength resulting in a change in color of the solution.

Do I need to wash my gold nanoparticles?
1 answer-
For most applications, our gold nanoparticles can be used without any additional washing steps. If you have a sensitive application that requires additional washing the best way to do so is by either centrifugation or filtration.

Can the Gold nanoparticles be frozen?
1 answer-
No, the Gold nanoparticles should not be frozen. If frozen, the gold nanoparticles will irreversibly aggregate, turning the solution clear.
