General description

The gold nanoparticles with a 10 nm diameter and stabilized suspension in 0.1 mM PBS are versatile material with unique properties that make them suitable for various applications. These nanoparticles exhibit exceptional thermo-mechanical properties, a high surface area, and low toxicity, contributing to their wide spread utility. The potential applications of these gold nanoparticles include neutrophil labeling for monitoring the impact of various drugs, immobilization of proteins in biosensor applications, and serving as a nano-carrier in drug delivery systems for the controlled release of hydrophobic drugs.

Application

  • Development of a biophotonic fiber sensor using direct-taper and anti-taper techniques with seven-core and four-core fiber for the detection of doxorubicin in cancer treatment.: Gold nanoparticles play a crucial role in enhancing the sensitivity and precision of fiber optic sensors for detecting chemotherapy drugs, demonstrating their significant potential in medical diagnostics and pharmaceutical research (Li et al., 2024).
  • Generalized ratiometric surface-enhanced Raman scattering biosensor for okadaic acid in food based on Au-triggered signal amplification.: Gold nanoparticles are utilized to amplify Raman scattering signals, improving the detection of toxins in food products, which is essential for food safety and public health research (Wei et al., 2024).
