ABSTRACT

We have developed highly fluorescent, monolithic colloidal CdSe seeded CdS nanorod clusters comprising thousands of nanorods. Their use in the sandwich assay detection of a model protein yields a thousand-fold improvement in the detection limit compared to individual nanorods, making them suitable for the detection of low abundance molecular targets.
