Silver Enhancement Kits

Kits for silver enhancement of gold, silver and nanourchin conjugate labeled samples in dot blot, Western Blots and microscopy. Using these straightforward kits, sensitivity in the picogram range can be achieved in 5–8-minute staining time all while maintaining a low background.

Amplification of the gold, silver and nanourchin nanoparticle label is a result of the deposition of silver on the nanoparticle surface during the reaction and increases the sensitivity of the nanoparticle conjugate labeling up to 100-fold. This allows for detection of scarce targets.
