Synthesis and characterization of gold-deposited red, green and blue fluorescent silica nanoparticles for biosensor application

Chem Commun (Camb). 2010 Sep 14;46(34):6374-6. doi: 10.1039/c0cc00762e. Epub 2010 Aug 12.

Abstract

Fluorescent silica nanoparticles deposited with highly monodisperse gold nanoparticles (1-2 nm) were synthesized via the W/O method and intensive ultrasound irradiation. A large surface area of gold-doped fluorescent silica nanoparticle serves as a platform to immobilize a specific binding protein for biomolecules interaction in bioimaging applications.
