Description
What are gold nanoparticles used for?
In the healthcare industry, gold nanoparticles are used in the production of lateral flow tests. These tests employ immunochromatography. They are used to detect whether a substance is present or absent in a sample. These kinds of tests are widely used for pregnancy diagnosis, COVID-19 screening, and a host of other medical applications.
In addition to their use in diagnostics, gold nanoparticles are also highly prized for their ability to boost signal intensity in Raman spectroscopy (Raman/SERS). They greatly improve the readability of results.
Nanospheres or nanostars: what impact does the shape of nanoparticles have?
In spectroscopy, gold nanospheres typically exhibit a single surface plasmon resonance peak, with maximum absorption occurring in the red to infrared wavelength region. This level of absorption varies according to the size of the nanoparticles.
