The PELCO® NanoXact gold colloids (nanoparticles) are extensively characterized (see Technical Data below) and designed to meet the rigorous research demands in today’s market. They range in size from 20 to 100nm.
The gold colloids come with comprehensive specification sheets that provide all of the physical and optical characterization data necessary to integrate the nanoparticles into Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS), plasmonic, and photonic applications.
The PELCO® NanoXact and BioPure gold colloids should be stored at 4°C.
Product testing indicates increased stability can be attained by following the storage recommendations.

Gold nanoparticle powder has two big advantages, it allows the user to determine the final concentration of the solution, and gives the user a choice in the type of solvent they wish to use (such as water, DMSO, ethanol, methanol, etc). The spheres are coated with PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone), which helps maintain the stability of the particles when they are deposited.
Our NHS (N-hydroxysuccinimide) activated nanoparticles are optimized for covalently coupling biomolecules, such as antibodies, to the surface of the gold nanoparticle. Gold nanoshells (silica core) have up to 20x increase in lateral flow diagnostic sensitivity over 40nm gold nanospheres.
Each kit includes:
