Synthesis Of Gold Nanorods Using The Seed Mediated Method And Its Conjugation With Antibody For Diagnostics Applications
This work describes the synthesis of gold nanorods (AuNRs) produced using the citrate seed mediated method and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) seed mediated method. The AuNRs are conjugated with antibody for diagnostic applications. The synthesis of AuNRs via the seed mediated method involves...
