New plasmon resonant particle (PRP) conjugates offer ultra-bright, stable, and color-selectable labels for microscopy. These advances enable highly sensitive, multicolor, and multiplexed applications in life sciences.

Area of Science:

  • Nanotechnology
  • Bioconjugation
  • Optical Microscopy

Background:

  • Recent advances in fabricating and bioconjugating gold and silver nanoparticles.
  • Development of a new class of labels based on plasmon resonant particles (PRPs).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the advantages and applications of plasmon resonant particle (PRP) conjugates.
  • To demonstrate the utility of PRPs in ultrasensitive, multicolor, and multiplexed life science applications.

Main Methods:
