NsolTM gold nanorods (GNRs) are coated in a dense layer of
polymers that shield the
gold surface and give the particles long-suspension times in
organic solvents. As opposed to their uncoated parent form
NanorodzTM, NsolTM GNRs are highly stable
and are transferable between a variety of organic solvents.
Custom Formulation and Production
Axial sizes 10
nm and 25 nm with wavelength coverage from 550 nm to 850 nm are
standard. Near-Infrared wavelengths from 780 to 850 are covered
by the 10 nm axial size. The 25 nm axial size covers
wavelengths 550 to 750 nm. Other sizes are special order.
Please contact us.
Composition
The gold nanorods are conjugated with a proprietary polymer
formulation and are stored in a proprietary organic solvent.
Custom Formulation and Production
SPRs from 550 to 850 nm are
available.
Quantity
Available in
~0.125 mL volumes, highly concentrated, with an OD > 400.
In our production, we concentrate as high as possible.
Sometimes our volumes end up less - but that always leads to an
increase in concentration (OD). Consequently, you will
always receive at least 50 OD-mLs (4000*0.125) or greater worth of material
that may be suspended in your choice of solvent. Volume
purchases of 250 OD-mL are also available. Exact specifications
are included on the included
Certificate of Analysis.
Delivery
All shipments are sent Fed Ex Standard Overnight
delivery. No shipments on Fridays.
Use
Add dropwise
to solvent. Disperse using sonication or vortexing.
Nsol will stay suspended from hours to days depending
on solvent. Suspension may be monitored through UV-VIS spectra.
Lifetime in solvents dependent on solvent. For ethanol and
methanol, the lifetime is weeks.
Conjugation
These nanorods have been coated with a polymer
cage. No other
conjugation is possible with this coating.
