Nanoshell Nanoparticles

Gold nanoshells consist of a silica core surrounded by a gold shell. By changing the ratio of the size of the core to the thickness of the shell, the plasmon resonance can be tuned across the visible and infrared.

BioReady gold nanoshells are ultrabright reporter particles for molecular diagnostics. Proteins can be covalently bound to the surface of carboxyl gold nanoshells using EDC/NHS chemistry.
NanoXact gold nanoshells are available with carboxyl, PEG and PVP surface functionalization.
