Highly purified biocompatible gold nanorods for contrasted optoacoustic imaging of small animal models
{{output}}
We developed a methodology for high yield synthesis of gold nanorods (GNR) with narrow band optical absorption centered at 760 nm. GNR were purified from hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and coated with polyethylene glycol (PEG). The molar ratio betwe... ...
