Abstract
A method of coating a surface with nanoparticles for biological analysis of cells that includes the steps of cleaning the surface with an oxidizing acid, treating the surface with an organosilane, coating the surface with nanoparticles, and then growing cells on the surface coated with the nanoparticles. The surface may be a glass surface, a silica-based surface, a plastic-based surface or a polymer-based surface. The nanoparticles may be gold-based nanomaterials.
Claims6
A method of coating a surface with a gold nanoparticle for biological analysis of a cell, comprising the steps of:
- a. cleaning said surface with an oxidizing acid;
- b. treating said cleaned surface with 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane;
- C. coating said treated surface with said nanoparticle comprising a step of adding a dispersion to said surface, wherein said dispersion comprises said nanoparticle and has a pH between 8 and 10;
- and
- d. growing said cell on said surface coated with said nanoparticle.
