Exploring new horizons in ultra-sensitive assays using gold nanoparticles

Plasmonic gold nanoparticles (PNPs) are orders of magnitude brighter under darkfield microscopy than their fluorescent counterparts. PNP Research uses this property to detect cellular epitopes at near single molecule levels. This higher sensitivity enables new ways to explore the cell surface, leading to a better understanding of its biology and to new biomarkers.
