 
NanopartzTM
has developed a revolutionary
new in vivo product -
NtrackerTM nanorods specifically for
use in biological, preclinical, and in vivo applications.
NtrackerTM nanorods are coated in a
proprietary dense layer of hydrophilic polymers
that shield the gold surface and give the particles ultra-long circulation times in vivo. As opposed to other
commercially available nanoparticles with short circulation
times - such as quantum dots, NtrackerTM
nanorods can be not only be used for imaging, but also for
photothermal applications. They have been rigorously tested
in vivo to yield superior circulation times in a variety of
mammalian species promoting great permeation into solid tumor
cancers. NtrackerTM nanorods are available
with transverse plasmon resonance peaks in the visible and
near-infrared.
Composition
The gold nanorods are shipped in PBS at pH 7.4.
Custom Formulation and Production
10 nm axial
sized nanorods are used for wavelengths 700 nm, 750 nm, 780 nm,
808 nm, and 850 nm since the 10 nm size offers the highest
photothermal conversion per gram. Refer to application and
technical notes.
Quantity
This product is
available in highly concentrated (OD 50) in 1 ml and 5 ml sizes
which amounts to 50 and 250 OD-mLs. For a 20g mouse,
0.150 ml per injection is required.
Delivery
All orders come
with a
Certificate of Analysis 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
There are no conjugation possibilities with the
NtrackerTM nanorods. 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 target antibodies.
