Nanomaterials are defined as particles having one of their dimensions ≤100 nm. Nanoparticles have a high surface to volume ratio, which allows an incredible amount of cargo on the surface. Our inorganic and metallic nanomaterials are used in a variety of applications from sensors and solar cells to biomedical applications. Our nanomaterials are available in a wide range of sizes and shapes, such as nanorods, nanospheres, and nano-urchins, and formulations/dispersions, including, nanopowders, pastes and suspensions. In addition, we carry functionalized nanoparticles and nanoparticle kits geared towards advanced applications. Unleash the potential of these powerful materials in your research.
Inorganic nanoparticles are non-toxic and biocompatible, hydrophilic and highly stable compared to organic materials. We offer a variety of inorganic nanoparticles to enhance your research including silica, fluorescent and nanodiamond nanoparticles.
When prepared and modified with select chemical functional groups, metallic nanoparticles (e.g. gold, silver, iron) offer a wide range of applications in sensing, batteries, diagnostics, and therapeutics.
Take advantage of the unique optical and biocompatible properties of our gold nanoparticles, gold nano-urchins, and iron oxide nanoparticles without demanding synthesis steps. We offer maleimide and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) functionalized kits for one-step conjugation of oligos, antibodies, proteins and peptides. Our gold nanoparticles can be used to target cells for imaging, photothermal therapy and drug delivery, to detect biomarkers, and for immunoassays (including lateral flow assays). Our iron oxide nanoparticles are optimal for cell and biomolecular separation, gene delivery, drug release, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and hyperthermia applications.
Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNT) are close structural analogs of carbon nanotubes (CNT), which are high aspect ratio nanotubular material, where carbon atoms are alternately substituted by nitrogen and boron atoms.
Nanomaterial Bioconjugation Techniques
In the past few decades, research and commercial use of gold nanoparticles has rapidly expanded into fields extending from biomedical engineering to photovoltaics. Most applications take advantage of the excellent optical properties of gold nanoparticles, which can be fine-tuned by varying their shape and size.
Mesoporous Materials include a range of high surface area porous silicates with applications in gas adsorption, drug delivery, diagnostics and catalysis.
