Reactant Free Gold NanoUrchins
Gold NanoUrchins have unique optical properties compared to spherical gold nanoparticles of the same core diameter.
The spiky uneven surface causes a red shift in the surface plasmon peak and a larger enhancement of the electromagnetic field at the tips of the Gold NanoUrchin spikes compared to that of a spherical particles.
As an example, 100nm spherical gold nanoparticles have an SPR peak at 570nm while 100nm Gold NanoUrchins have a SPR peak at around 680nm.
Reactant Free Gold NanoUrchins are supplied in 0.1mM phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and are extensively purified to be 99% free of residual reactants from manufacturing.
These particles have the same high protein binding efficiency as our standard gold nanoparticle preparations for use in applications such as conjugate development, lateral flow and Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) with the added benefit of being reactant free for more sensitive applications such as cell work and nanotoxicology studies.
