Magnetic microreactors for efficient and reliable magnetic nanoparticle surface functionalization.
Microreactors have attracted wide attention in the nano- and biotechnology fields because they offer many advantages over standard liquid phase reactions. We report the development of a magnetic microreactor for reliable, fast and efficient surface functionalization of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs). A comprehensive study of the development process in terms of setup, loadin...
متن کاملNanoparticle Functionalization and Its Potentials for Molecular Imaging
Functionalization enhances the properties and characteristics of nanoparticles through surface modification, and enables them to play a major role in the field of medicine. In molecular imaging, quality functional images are required with proper differentiation which can be seen with high contrast to obtain viable information. This review article discusses how functionalization enhances molecul...
متن کاملProgrammable nanolithography with plasmon nanoparticle arrays.
We describe how optical contact lithography based on plasmon particle array masks allows generation of a large number of different subwavelength exposure patterns using a single mask. Within an exact point dipole model, we study the local response of silver particles in small two-dimensional arrays with 50-200 nm spacing. We show how illumination with unfocused light allows optically addressing...
متن کاملNanoparticle targeting at cells.
Gold nanoparticles have been used for analytical and biomedical purposes for many years. In fact, the labeling of targeting molecules with nanoparticles has revolutionized the visualization of cellular or tissue components by electron microscopy. We report in this study the derivatization of tiopronin-protected nanoparticles with ethylenediamine and poly(ethylene glycol) bis(3-aminopropyl) term...
متن کاملNanoparticle-aptamer bioconjugates for cancer targeting.
The combination of targeted drug delivery and controlled-release technology may pave the road for more effective yet safer chemotherapeutic options for cancer therapy. Drug-encapsulated polymeric nanoparticle-aptamer bioconjugates represent an emerging technology that can facilitate the delivery of chemotherapeutics to primary and metastatic tumours. Aptamers are short nucleic acid molecules wi...
