About the product

Star-shaped nanoparticles produced by chemical synthesis. The product is a colloidal system in aqueous solution stabilized with sodium citrate and is supplied as 0.5 mL of colloidal solution with a particle concentration of about 10⁹ mL⁻¹.

The anisotropic shape of the particles creates local regions of enhanced electromagnetic field, which makes such structures promising for surface-enhanced Raman scattering.

The particles tend to aggregate when stored for more than 4 hours, which should be taken into account when planning experiments.
