Can the Gold nanoparticles be frozen?
1 answer-
No, the Gold nanoparticles should not be frozen. If frozen, the gold nanoparticles will irreversibly aggregate, turning the solution clear.

Which gold nanoparticle size should I choose for my application?
1 answer-
The size of gold nanoparticle to use is very depandent upon the intended application. Generally, smaller particles offer better sensitivity in applications such as immunogold labeling due to less steric hindrance and the ability to bind more gold nanoparticles to the desired target. Small gold nanoparticles are less visible than larger particles, however, which must also be taken into account.As an application example, particles with a size between 30-50nm are particularly useful for the development of rapid tests such as lateral flow assays.

How does the storage temperature relate to shipping conditions?
1 answer-
The storage conditions that a Sigma-Aldrich catalog and label recommend for products are deliberately conservative. For many products, long-term storage at low temperatures will increase the time during which they are expected to remain in specification and therefore are labeled accordingly. Where short-term storage, shipping time frame, or exposure to conditions other than those recommended for long-term storage will not affect product quality, Sigma-Aldrich will ship at ambient temperature. The products sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than their recommended long-term storage are shipped on wet or dry ice. Ambient temperature shipping helps to control shipping costs for our customers. At any time, our customers can request wet- or dry-ice shipment, but the special handling is at customer expense if our product history indicates that the product is stable for regular shipment.

Do I need to wash my gold nanoparticles?
1 answer-
For most applications, our gold nanoparticles can be used without any additional washing steps. If you have a sensitive application that requires additional washing the best way to do so is by either centrifugation or filtration.
