Properties Of Gold Nanoparticles And Its Conjugation With Biomolecules For Diagnostic Application

In this study, colloidal gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were synthesized using the seeding-growth method. This approach was beneficial to produce spherical shape AuNPs with the size range from 6 nm to 150 nm with polydispersity index (PDI) below 0.2 by varying the volume of seed solution. AuNPs synthesi...
