Hydrophilic Nanorods Technical Specifications

Description

Highly luminescent semiconductor nanorods coated with hydrophilic organic molecules.

Composition

CdSe spherical core capped with epitaxial ZnS shell. The surface hydrophilic layer contains carboxyl groups through which nanorods may be easily attached to proteins, antibodies and oligonucleotides.

Shipping form

Aqueous solution in triply distilled water. The indicated weight of nanorods relates to the CdSe core only and does not include ZnS cap and organic shell.

Storage

Sealed container, keep in dark, store at 4°C, do not freeze!

Self-life

6 months unopened.

Solubility

Readily soluble in water and phosphate and TRIS buffers. Not soluble in alcohols, hydrocarbons, chloroorganics, etc.

Research and development use only

Except as provided by written contracts, products ordered from NanoFluorescent Materials are sold for research and development use only. Cadmium containing nanorods are not intended for food, drug, household, agricultural or cosmetic use.

Regulatory information

Cadmium containing nanorods are defined as hazardous material. Use of NFM nanorods shall be supervised by a technically qualified individual.
European Regulations: Xn, N.
