We are happy to announce that in an effort to continue to serve our customer’s needs, Protein A and Streptavidin conjugated gold nanoparticles have now been added to our gold nanoparticles product line.

As with our antibody conjugated colloidal gold, our Streptavidin and Protein A gold nanoparticles are manufactured with the highest quality colloidal gold for improved . . . → Read More: Protein A and Streptavidin Conjugated Gold Nanoparticles Launched

In a recent article in Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, Wobma et al. describes the development of an apparatus capable of direct multicolour fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy using polystyrene beads loaded with Cytodiagnostics quantum dots.

Unlike techniques such as Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) or dual-colour fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy (FCCS), this method can provide rapid, real-time analysis of associations . . . → Read More: Polystyrene Beads Loaded with Cytodiagnostics Quantum Dots Used for Direct Multicolour Fluorescence Cross-Section Spectroscopy

Always wondered how to improve your efficiency in the lab? Here are 5 simple steps to start you on the road to productivity!

1. Have common buffers ready to go at all times

Nothing is more frustrating than having that great idea for an experiment and noticing much to your despair that you’re down to the last couple . . . → Read More: 5 Ways to Improve Efficiency in the Lab

There is an increasing demand to track and investigate the effects of drugs, cellular activities and disease progression within the context of a whole living organism. Due to high background autofluorescence from biological materials such as, water, melanin, and poor tissue penetration at higher energies, traditional fluorescent dyes with emission in the lower wavelengths of the . . . → Read More: Bring Life to Your Research With Our Near-Infrared Fluorescent Dyes

To further expand our line of functionalized gold nanoparticles Cytodiagnostics now offer carboxyl modifed gold nanoparticles.  These particles can be used for covalent conjugation of proteins and other ligands to the gold nanoparticle surface using standard EDC/NHS coupling chemistry and are available in sizes between 15-100nm.

In addition, as a custom service we can adjust the density . . . → Read More: New Product – Carboxyl Gold Nanoparticles

We are proud to announce that we have added Trilite Fluorescent Nanocrystals to our product line. These quantum dots come with two different surface chemistries, i.e. carboxyl and alkyl ligands and are available with emission between 490-665 nm. All colors are equally bright, and our quantum dots are in contrast to other nanocrystals on the market, . . . → Read More: New Product – Trilite Fluorescent Nanocrystals
