NanopartzTM Gold NanorodzTM are
manufactured using a proprietary and patent pending method
that results in exact sizes, and highly monodisperse sizes
and shapes.
Composition
The gold nanorods are shipped in DI water
with < 0.1%
ascorbic acid and < 0.1% CTAB surfactant capping
agent.
Custom Formulation
Axial sizes 10 nm and 25 nm
with wavelength coverage from 550 nm to 900 nm are
standard. Near-Infrared wavelengths from 750 to 850 are
covered by the 10 nm axial size. The 25 nm axial size
covers wavelengths 550 to 700 nm. All orders come with
a
Certificate of Analysis. Other sizes are special
order. Please contact us.
Quantity
This product is available
in 100mL and 500mL sizes. For smaller evaluation sizes,
please see our Introductory Kits. For larger sizes, or for
orders amounting over 10L per annum, please contact sales
for quantity pricing.
Introductory Kits
For smaller evaluation volumes, three
introductory kits are available. Our NIR introductory kit,
30-10-100, contains 25mL of each of the 10 nm axial sizes
from 750 to 850nm. Our VIS introductory kit, 30-25-100,
contains 25mL of each of the 25 nm axial sized nanorod
products from 550 to 700nm. Our third introductory
kit, part number 30-00-000 allows the customer to pick and
choose a minimum of four different sizes, 25mL ea. Priced
at $150 per 25mL bottle of 10nm nanorods and $200 per 25mL bottle of 25nm nanorods.
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 domestic shipments are sent Fed Ex Standard
Overnight delivery, international Fed Ex Priority 2 day. 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 the customer should purchase our NtherapyTM
or NsenseTM nanorods prepared with amine-
and carboxyl- terminations for the specific purpose of
conjugating antibodies.
