NanopartzTM High Aspect Ratio Gold NanorodzTM
are
manufactured using a proprietary and patent pending method
that results in exact sizes, and highly monodisperse sizes
and shapes. These nanorods have aspect ratios of 6.5
and 10.
Composition
The bare gold nanorods are shipped in DI water
with < 0.1% ascorbic acid and < 0.1% CTAB surfactant capping
agent. The conjugated nanorods are shipped n DI water
at pH=7.0 and have the CTAB reduced to < 0.0001%.
Custom Formulation
The transverse size is 20
nm with two initial standard wavelengths of 1064 and 1400 nm. All orders come with
a
Certificate of Analysis. Other sizes are special
order. Please contact us.
Quantity
This product is available
in 5mL and 50mL sizes. The standard optical density is
0.6. For larger volumes, or for
orders amounting over 10L per annum, please contact sales
for quantity pricing.%20web.jpg)
Introductory Kits
None at this time.
Delivery
All orders come with a
batch distribution curve for quality assurance. Standard
sizes are in stock. Special order sizes will be shipped in
two weeks or less. All shipments are sent Fed Ex Standard
Overnight delivery. No shipments on Fridays.
Conjugation
Unlike spherical gold nanoparticles where the
net surface charge is negative thereby affording passive
antibody adsorption, nanorods have a net positive surface
charge. Consequently, it is strongly recommended that for
conjugating you purchase our custom conjugation services.
Part Number Description
30-HAR-XXXX are the bare
nanorods where XXXX is the peak SPR wavelength (either 1064
or 1400 nm). 30-H(A,B,C,M,N)-XXXX are the conjugated
nanorods where A, B, C, M, and N stand for amine, biotin,
carboxyl, methyl and neutravidin, respectively.
