Nanopartz^TM was created to commercialize gold nanoparticles, particularly gold nanorods, for the research market.  Specifically, the mission of Nanopartz^TM is to commercialize therapeutic, imaging, and materials applications of newly patent pending, patented, or proprietary technologies in gold nanoparticles and gold nanorods for the life science and non-life science research markets.

For its current product line, Nanopartz^TM utilizes patent pending and proprietary technologies developed in-house, as well as exclusive licenses to patent pending technologies developed at the University of South Carolina (USC) and Rice University.
