Gold Innovations Blog

As I mentioned on the blog a couple of weeks ago I attended the Nanoparticles 2009 meeting in Liverpool last week. I enjoyed the diverse programme which included papers and posters detailing novel uses of nanoparticles in a range of fields including healthcare, materials, sensors and analysis.

Naturally I was excited to see a considerable amount of gold-related research presented. Many of the delegates I spoke to were particularly interested in the recent advances in the synthesis of gold nanoparticles of specific shapes and sizes. Richard highlighted the progress made by Nanopartz in a recent post, whilst utilisegold.com has a directory of companies offering gold nanoparticulates in numerous forms.

Please feel free to get in touch with us if you require a specific type of gold nanoparticle – we may well be able to help!
