Quantity
This product is available in 1mL and larger. For orders larger than 100mL, or for orders amounting over 10L per annum, please contact sales for quantity pricing.
Delivery
Standard sizes are in stock. Special order sizes are 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.
Conjugations
This product comes standard with CTAB. Options include PEI, PAH, PAA, Citrate, and Nanopartz non covalent charged polymers.
Shelf Life/Storage Temperature
This product is guaranteed for six months and should be stored at 4°C after opening. Care must be taken to only use sterile glassware when working with this product.
Toxicity
CTAB is known to be cytotoxic. All other conjugations are non-cytotoxic. This product has been sterilized and is biological free.
Sterilization
This product is sterilized.
The manufacturing method for these nanoparticles are based on our proprietary method. This invention allowed the first use of a reducing agent to be used at room temperature. Unlike citrate which is only a reducing agent at the boiling temperature of water - thereby quickly making non-monodisperse gold nanoparticles, our reducing agent works by slowing building nanoparticles from seed, atom by atom, over the course of up to hours. The result is a highly monodisperse product with unrivaled spherical shapes.
All of these "bare" particles are capped with ligands that are easily replaced with thiol and charge chemistries. We do not recommend using the carboxyl termination on our proprietary ligand as a conjugatable attachment.
Certifications
Every order comes with a Certification of Analysis that includes the following information. We use calibration traceable:
UV-VIS (Agilent 8453) for extinction and concentration measurements
NIR (Cary 500) for NIR extinction and concentration measurements
DLS (Malvern Nano ZS) for zeta potential measurement
ICP-MS (Varian 820-MS) for gold mass measurements
TEM (Phillips CM-100 100KV) for sizing
I am having a really hard time centrifuging the nanorods without them crashing. I want to conjugate and purify - what do you recommend?
Purification of the nanorods is no simple task. That's why we developed our our conjugated nanorods with carboxyl, amine, biotin, and neutravidin terminations - to make it easy for any of your conjugations. For a published paper regarding conjugating the gold nanorods, refer Rostro-Kohanloo et. al, "The stabilization and targeting of surfactant-synthesized gold nanorods", Nanotechnology 20 (2009)( http://atmsp.whut.edu.cn/resource/pdf/11144.pdf)
We have bought some gold nanorods from you and we would like to know the thickness of the CTAB coating because we are interested in the interaction between these CTAB coated nanorods with the surrounding. Do you know the thickness of the CTAB coating?
CTAB forms a bilayer micelle on the nanorods. If it is completely linear, then the bilayer thickness would be ~3nm.
I don't see any CTAB in your nanorod solution, even at 4 °C. Why not?
We have devised a method that removes most all of the CTAB in the solution, only leaving that necessary for the stability of the nanorods.
Your nanorods never shift wavelength and their extinctions are very stable in both intensity and wavelength. I thought that nanorods were notorious for shifting to lower wavelengths with time?
Like the method described above, not only do we remove the excess CTAB, we are also able to remove all the active components, leaving only stable nanorods.
Why are nanorods positive in charge? All of the spheres I've ever used are negative in charge?
The fact that CTAB is a micelle creates the + positive charge on the nanorod.
What does the term "bare" when applied to nanoparticles mean?
There are no such thing as completely "bare" nanoparticles that are stable long term. Ligands are used to stabilize gold nanoparticles. The key to a "bare" nanoparticle ligand is one that is lightly adsorbed and can be readily replaced through covalent, charge, or other types of bonds.
How do you size your nanorods?
We use a combination of TEM and UV VIS to correctly assign exact measurements and variance to the nanorods.
Do you really provide a TEM for my specific lot?
Yes, and not just for 5-10 particles, rather 50-100 are standard.
What is OD?
Optical Density (OD) is measured by UV-VIS. An Optical Density OD=1 corresponds to a transmission of 10% through a 1cm cuvette. Optical Density is a nice unit to use since Optical Densities correlate linearly to concentration. So an Optical Density of 1.2 is equal to 1.2 times the concentration of a gold nanoparticle solution that has an Optical Density of 1. We use OD and concentration interchangingly as it is easier to refer to a solution of OD=1 rather than 2.35e12 nanoparticles. For all spheres up to 200nm, OD=1 does refer to 0.05mg/mL.
What is PDI?
PDI refers to polydispersity index and is equal to the standard deviation of the particle sizes divided by the average size.
Why is your shelf life time so much longer for your proprietary gold nanoparticles when compared to citrate stabilized gold nanoparticles?
As opposed to citrate, our Nanopartz Carboxylic Acid capping agent is not a growth medium.
Are your proprietary gold nanoparticles interchangeable with citrate stabilized gold nanoparticles?
Yes. However, the user must be aware that in order to stabilize citrate gold nanoparticles, previous manufacturers used to add many stabilizing agents. Consequently for example to ionically attach ligands to gold nanoparticles required the chemist to "drive" the reaction by adding 10-1000 times greater concentrations of the ligand. This is no longer necessary with our gold nanoparticles.

The manufacturing method for these nanorods are based on multiple patents and proprietary methods. The results are unparalleled monodispersity, scalability, and most important repeatability.
We possess the technology for single nanometer tuning of both the transverse and longitudinal dimensions.
All of these "bare" particles are capped with ligands that are easily replaced with thiol and charge chemistries. We do not recommend using the carboxyl termination on our proprietary ligand as a conjugatable attachment.
