Biocompatible Nano-Gold for Therapeutics and Diagnostics

  • Drug Delivery

    Gold Nanoparticles-based drug delivery systems can assure high loading of poorly-soluble anti-cancer drugs and long circulation times within the body. Gold Nanoparticles AuNPs are used to increase the efficiency of drugs, while reducing their toxicity and side effects. Gold Nanoparticles can carry multiple drug molecules, proteins, vaccines, or nucleic acids simultaneously. They can be functionalized with targeting molecules to accumulate preferentially in specific tissues, such as tumors. We can assist you in the design of the nanoparticles to enable high selectivity for targeted delivery and controlled drug release

  • Biosensing/Lateral Flow Assays/Personilized medicine

    Gold Nanoparticles AuNPs can be used to confirm presence or absence of different substances of interest, such as disease biomarkers, bacteria, viruses, antibodies, drugs, environmental pollutants etc. Bacterial and viral (including CoVid-19) detection on surfaces, swabs and in biological liquids is one of the most known applications of this type. Our ultra-monodispersed nanoparticles are the best candidates to assure high sensitivity and uniformity of these tests, and we are ready to help you with the development of your specific application

  • Gene Therapy

    Due to their optical and electronic properties, biocompatibility and possibility for surface modification, Gold Nanoparticles AuNPs are recognized as promising nano-vectors for gene delivery and gene silencing. Compared to polymeric nanoparticles, Gold Nanoparticles have very high surface-to-volume ratio, enabling them to maximize the payloads. For your application in gene delivery, we can design the nanoparticles covered with the positively charged surface stabilizer of your choice, to enable easy attachment of the nucleic acids

  • Photothermal Therapy

    Gold Nanoparticles AuNPs can absorb near-infrared (NIR) light and heat-up the tumor cells triggering their death, without causing any harm to the healthy tissue. Gold Nanoparticles can serve as both photothermal agents and drug carriers, enabling combination therapies. Moreover, specially designed Gold Nanoparticles can be used for imaging as well, allowing for image-guided photothermal therapies. We can offer a variety of our Gold Nanoparticles products having a peak of absorbance within the desired wavelength range (between 700-1000 nm) and to engineer the nanoparticles best suited to your application

  • Medical Imaging

    Biocompatible Gold Nanoparticles AuNPs can generate better contrast with lower X-ray dose (compared to iodine) and provide with longer circulation times, making them superior X-ray contrast agent. They are used to improve the sensitivity of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), optical, photoacoustic and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) imaging, and emission tomography. By adjusting the optical properties of gold nanoparticles, development of surface coatings to achieve increased stability or by using functionalization with fluorescent dyes, we can create efficient imaging agents for your application

  • Theragnostics

    Gold Nanoparticles AuNPs are extensively utilized to develop solutions in theragnostics, combining diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities for cancer and other diseases. Gold Nanoparticles offer a versatile platform, enabling simultaneous diagnosis, therapy, and monitoring of treatment responses, as well as having great potential for personalized medicine approaches. We can help you to design multifunctional nanoparticles with various configurations, to enable performing plurality of functions which are necessary for building your application platform
