NanoVIVO™ PLGA Nanoparticle Line
Our single-layer poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles form nanostructures with a hydrophobic core encapsulated inside a hydrophilic shell. Dye molecules and magnetic nanoparticles can be encapsulated inside the hydrophobic core. PLGA surface contains COOH groups that can be used for EDC/NHS based bioconjugation. Optional surface modifications include methoxy PEG (improves in vivo blood half-life) and PEG-Azide (can be used to covalently attach biomolecules by click chemistry)
Features:
-
120 - 170 nm diameter PLGA nanoparticles.
-
Made with FDA approved biocompatible and biodegradable PLGA polymer.
-
Conjugation-ready for covalent attachment of biomolecules.
-
High degree of monodispersity.
-
Magnetic version can be pulled down by application of magnetic force.
-
Can be labeled with a fluorescent dye.
-
Optional incorporation of Methoxy-PEG minimizes non-specific protein adsorption. This increase nanoparticle in-vivo blood half-life.
-
Custom formulations for encapsulation of specific payloads are available.
Applications:
-
Dual labeled fluorescence and magnetic nanoparticles for in-vivo targeting.
-
Dual fluorescence and MRI imaging for in vitro and in vivo applications.
-
Dual probes for magnetic cell pulldown and flowcytometry analysis.
