The 25 nm nanobeads may exhibit high surface energy, making them prone to aggregation in solvent, which could explain the observed particle size of 300–800 nm in DLS measurements. It's also important to note that the 30% amplitude setting does not provide a clear indication of the actual power being applied during sonication. For better results, it is generally recommended to use a protocol of 1 second on with 3 seconds off for a total of 15 minutes under 400 Watts. Additionally, checking TEM images for the particle size, if available, may provide more accurate information on the actual size of the nanobeads.

Application
The use of labeling or staining agents has greatly assisted the study of complex biological interactions in biology and the fluorescent labeling of biomolecules has been demonstrated as an indispensable tool in many biological studies. By virtue of excellent fluorescence properties the silica nanobeads find application in biological labeling; bioimaging; biosensing etc.[1][2] Ultrastable particles exhibit a very high resistance to photobleaching and can be used in single-particle imaging as well as in super resolution techniques such as stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy.

I applied probe sonication on ice for 8 minutes at 30% amplitude. However, the DLS size measurement results showed the particle size of is around 300–800 nm, which differs from the product description (25 nm). How?

what is dispersibility of this beads in water.
1 answer-
The nanopowder may be re-dispersed by adding water directly to the storage vial. It is recommended to add 1 mL of water per each 1 mg of nanoparticles to be re-dispersed, and probe sonicating on ice for 8 minutes at 30% amplitude or until the powder has completely re-dissolved.
