We describe here the use of gold nanoparticles to manipulate the selectivity between solutes in capillary electrophoresis. Two different gold-based nanoparticles were added to the run buffer. In one case, the nanoparticles were stabilized with citrate ions, but in another study, the gold nanoparticles were capped with mercaptopropionate ions (thiol-stablized). Citrate-stabilized gold nanopartic...

Towards the goal of development of a generic nanomaterial delivery system and delivery of the 'as prepared' nanoparticles without 'further surface modification' in a generic way, we have fabricated a hybrid polymer capsule as a delivery vehicle in which nanoparticles are loaded within their cavity. To this end, a generic approach to prepare nanomaterials-loaded polyelectrolyte multilayered (PEM...

background: ultrasmallsuperparamagnetic iron oxide (uspio) nanoparticles are used as blood pool contrast agent for magnetic resonance angiography and perfusion imaging. our aim in this study was to investigate the effect of the two coating types of iron oxide nanoparticles on the relationship between nanoparticles concentration and signal intensity (si) in t1-weighted mr images.   methods : dif...

the antimicrobial effect of metal nanoparticles such as zinc oxide and silver nanoparticles has been taken into great consideration separately during recent years. the useful application of these nanoparticles in the areas of medicine, biotechnology, and professional prevention of microbes motivated us. the aim of this study was to evaluate antibacterial activity properties of silver doped zinc...

conclusions: the results showed that silver nanoparticles have an antimicrobial effect against intramacrophage b. abortus 544. results: the well diffusion agar study showed that silver nanoparticles have an antimicrobial effect on b. abortus 544. the mic and mbc of silver nanoparticles against b. abortus 544 were; 6 ppm and 8 ppm, respectively. the silver nanoparticles showed antibacterial effe...

recombinant protein purification is a kind of sensitive and expensive method in genetics engineering. genetic manipulation leads to the expression of various proteins; it should be isolated with high purity finally. differed methods for protein purification are categorized, based on cast, quality, easy work and side effect of protein. in this article, we are investigating his his-tag protein pu...

two facile and low cost routes were used for the synthesis of if-ws2 nanoparticles. in this paper, preparation of if-ws2 nanoparticles with two different methods was investigated. in the first method, wo3 nanoparticles were reacted with h2s gas in n2/h2 reducing atmosphere at 900 oc. the as-synthesized if-ws2 nanoparticles are spherical shape with an average size of about 70 nm.  in the second ...

we have used lithium aluminum hydroxide reducing method of silver nitrate to prepare heterogeneous silver-silica nanocomposite particles with thiol and amino groups serving to bind the ag nanoparticles to the surfaces of the sio2 nanoparticles. we examined products of these reductions using ftir, sem, xrd and uv-vis. spectroscopy. the sio2 nanoparticles had diameters ranging from 70 to 90 nm; t...

The tolerance of BALB/c mice to different doses of blank and cisplatin-loaded PLGA-mPEG nanoparticles and the in vivo anticancer activity of these nanoparticles on SCID mice xenografted with colorectal adenocarcinoma HT 29 cells were investigated. Nanoparticles with an average size of 150-160 nm and approximately 2% w/w cisplatin content were prepared by a modified emulsification and solvent ev...

The performance of gold and polystyrene nanoparticles was investigated using quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) as sensor platform; β-Galactosidase antibody with corresponding antigen was utilized for the immunoreaction. The development of the immunosensor included: 1) formation of self assembled monolayers on quartz crystals; 2a) immobilization of p-aminothiophenol functionalized gold nanoparti...
