5nm Standard Gold Nanoparticles

SKU:  G-5-20

Composition: Tannic acid stabilized gold colloid

Core Size: 5nm

Absorption max: 515-520nm

Particles per ml: 5.47E+13

Formulation: Supplied in 0.1mM phosphate buffered saline (PBS)

Intended use: Conjugate development by passive adsorption of proteins and other ligands to the gold 

nanoparticle surface. The resulting conjugate can be used in blotting, electron microscopy and immuno

histochemistry applications. 

Properties 

Cytodiagnostics unconjugated gold nanoparticles are made using a unique proprietary protocol resulting 

in particles with superior size distribution and shape compared to that of the leading competitor. 

Our gold nanoparticle preparations have a narrow size distribution (CV of less than 15%), exceptional protein 

adsorption properties and more than 95% spherical particles. In addition, low batch to batch variability (+/- 2nm) 

assures you as a customer always end up with a product within the specified size range ordered. 

All of our batches go through stringent quality control prior to shipment to our customers using dynamic light scattering 

to guarantee size and monodispersity and lot specifications are supplied with each product.

Storage

Store product away from direct sunlight at 4-25°C. Lower temperature prolongs the shelf life of the product. 

Do NOT freeze. Freezing causes irreversible aggregation of the gold nanoparticles. 

When stored as specified the product is stable for at least six months.
