Nano-clusters and Colloids in Bioanalysis

  • Chapter
Analytical Biotechnology

Abstract

In chapter 4 application of metal clusters for immunechromatography is covered. Some of these and related applications have been successful for decades, while others are novel and have to prove their usefulness. It has been described how clusters can be applied in test strips and as efficient quenchers for fluorescent molecular beacons. The fundamental properties in that respect are their absorption high coefficient, their plasmon resonance, and their high density.
