我怎么洗我的金納米粒子嗎??
?
對于大多數應用程序可以使用我們的金納米粒子沒(méi)有任何額外的清洗步驟。 如果你有一個(gè)敏感的應用程序,需要額外的清洗的最佳方式是通過(guò)離心或過(guò)濾。 推薦的離心速度和時(shí)間請參考?
When stored for a long period of time the?gold nanoparticles?might sediment at the bottom of the flask, which is especially true for larger particle sizes. Prior to use, re-suspend the sedimented particles by swirling until a homogenous solution is obtained.
?
To maintain optimal performance, and stability of the colloidal gold, care should be taken to use clean storage containers if using other than supplied with the product.
?
Please read our "Introduction to Gold Nanoparticle Characterization" tech note for information on how to analyze gold nanoparticles and their properties.?
?
Although it is not always necessary to wash the gold nanoparticles prior to use, some applications might require additional washing procedures. The easiest way to remove possible contaminants in the nanoparticles solution is by centrifugation. Centrifugation force is dependant on size of the gold nanoparticles and should be adjusted according to table I for optimal performance.
?
Note:
Since non-functionalized gold nanoparticles are sensitive to salt containing buffers, re-suspension should always be performed in ultra-pure water to prevent irreversible aggregation. Irreversible aggregation is characterized by a clear to bluish solution upon the addition of salt.
?
*Note: Addition of Tween 20 to a final concentration of 0.025% (w/v) at this step improves performance during centrifugation and can prevent the formation of aggregates. However, Tween 20 binds to the gold surface and can slightly affect the adsorption of other molecules to the gold surface.?
?
Table I.?Appropriate G forces for centrifugation of gold nanoparticles. Note that recommended conditions are for a volume of 1ml and centrifugation using a microcentrifuge, except for 5nm gold nanoparticles that requires an ultracentrifuge.
