InnovaCoat® Gold 40nm Biotin Summary

• Description: InnovaCoat GOLD is a unique coated nanoparticle that has an avidly bound protective surface coat which can withstand the most extreme conditions (e.g. 2.5M NaOH at 70C for 2 hours).
  
  By covalently attaching biotin ligand to the surface coat the resulting InnovaCoat GOLD-Biotin nanoparticles inherit the stability attributes of the core nanoparticle; moreover the biotin ligand cannot desorb, which is a major problem with all competing products in which a biotin analogue is directly attached to the metal.
  
  Biotin is attached to InnovaCoat GOLD via an extended linker to facilitate high affinity molecular interactions with avidin and streptavidin.
  
  OD (concentration): 10
  Size of gold: 40 nm
  
  InnovaCoat GOLD Biotin demonstrates enhanced sensitivity compared to competitor products in lateral flow assays.

Applications/Dilutions

• Application Notes: To determine the effective concentration of the InnovaCoat GOLD Biotin we advise to measure the absorbance of light at 530nm using an UV-vis spectrophotometer after diluting your sample to an appropriate range for your piece of equipment (e.g. if the InnovaCoat GOLD Biotin is at 10 OD and is diluted 1:10 the Abs530nm for a 1 cm light path is expected to be around 1 AU).

Packaging, Storage & Formulations

• Storage: Store at 4C. Do not freeze.
