Rapid purification of gold nanorods for biomedical applications

Small gold nanorods (GNRs) with longitudinal plasmon absorption in the near-infrared window (700–900 nm) are of great interest for in vivo optical applications (e.g., photothermal therapy) and for their high-payload-to-carrier ratio for drug delivery. Common synthetic strategies for GNR production a...
