BALLYA Gold Nanoparticles
Irregular shaped
Circle shaped
Circle shaped
Triangle\Rhombus\Straight
Oval\Square\Irregular
The irregular shaped nanoparticles take too much in the colloidal gold liquid. That will cause:
1. Easy to be dead
2. Difficult to coated with antibody/antigen/protein
3. Take too much volume of antibody/antigen/protein while labeling
4. Take too much volume of nanoparticles while labeling
5. Sedimentation
6. Aggregation
Circle shaped more than 95%
CV less than 8%

Frequency Questions and Answers
How to use BALLYA Gold Nanoparticles?
1. Prepare the most suitable PH’s buffer solution 2. Add buffer solution directly to 100 OD gold nanoparticles dilute till 40 OD 3. Add protein into 40 OD gold nanoparticles liquid to label
What’s recommended labeling concentration?
40 OD. At this concentration, it help increase sensitivity, save labeling materials, enhance band color intensity.
What’s the best labeling volume?
It will depend on your production technique and product type, such as, hcg, hiv, covid 19...etc. All are different. Need to do some research.
How to make buffer solution with the most suitable PH?
Please check the formulas of buffer solution.
How to find out the most suitable PH in your technique system?
1. 100 OD concentration of colloidal gold, dilute to 40 OD with different pH buffer solution 2. Add the same quality antibody (recommended 50 ug/ml), reaction 2 hours 3. After the reaction is completed, take a small amount of labeled colloidal gold, and then dilute to 1 OD with the corresponding pH. 4. In the 1 OD labeled-gold, add 10% NaCl to make 1% concentration, observe the color after mixing, the color is the best, the lowest or without aggregation & sedimentation, then, that is the most suitable pH
What’s buffer formula suitable for BALLYA Gold Nanoparticles?
There are 3 types common buffer solution as below:
Borax: Na2B4O7·10H2O,0.005M; Liquid: 1.907 g/L Boric acid: H2BO3, 0.02M; Liquid: 1.237 g/L Borax is easy to lose crystalline water, and must be stored in a bottle with a plug.

The recommended labeling technique for BALLYA Gold Nanoparticles Physical adsorption method:
Procedures as below: 1. Select the most suitable pH for the labeling protein 2. Select the most suitable buffer solution
Alkaline based buffer solution
0.02M borax + boric acid
Acidity based buffer solution
0.01M Citric Acid + Trisodium citrate dihydrate
Buffer solution (Citric Acid + borax)
0.01M Citric Acid + 0.05M borax
3. Directly dilute from 100 OD to 40 OD 4. Add protein into 40 OD gold nanoparticles liquid, shock or stir till well-distributed and reaction 2hours 5. Add blocking solution, such as, BSA, OVA, etc. Reaction 20 min 6. Centrifuge, remove supernatant, dilute to proper pH
Can we use other labeling technique for BALLYA Gold Nanoparticles?
Yes, of course. Also can use chemical method to label.
Ingredients of BALLYA Gold Nanoparticles
Only two ingredients: 1. Gold nanoparticles 2. Purified Water
Why can not detect PH in BALLYA Gold Nanoparticles?
It’s ultra high concentration, 100 OD. It always be neutral, no need to waste a probes to detect it. It can easy to hurt a pH probes.
What’s the PH of BALLYA Gold Nanoparticles?
It’s always neutral. pH=7
Why will occur dead gold nanoparticles while blocking?
It’s a common question. The different brands’ BSA has their own technique that maybe influence the performance of gold nanoparticles, such as, blocking to dead, dead in drying procedure, reducing sensitivity, increasing false positive, etc. In that case, please change the different brand different batches blocking solution or use the non-protein polymer blocking agents, such as, Polyethylene glycol, etc.
Why use ultra high concentration gold nanoparticles will reduce labeling effectiveness?
I guess you are facing the HOOK EFFECT (overloading antibodies, antigen or proteins).
For example, as usual, 1 OD should be labeled with 5ug/ml, so, while use 40 OD maybe you think it should be used 5ug/ml x 40 = 200ug/ml. But it’s not the truth. Over thousands times experimental, we found that only use 50ug/ml can feed it (40 OD) to be saturated! So, try 50ug/ml, maybe it’s surprise to you.
Precautions
Storage & shipment: room temperature shipping, storage at 2- 8°C, do not refrigerate Transfer: while transfer or distribute, use clean bottle to avoid dead gold nanoparticles Shelf life: 12 months
