Antibody nanoparticle conjugation combines the molecular specificity of antibodies with the functional properties of nanoparticles to create advanced materials for detection, imaging, capture, separation, and targeted delivery. Through custom nanoparticle conjugation and antibody labeling of nanoparticles, the final conjugate can be tailored for optical readout, magnetic handling, fluorescent signaling, biosensing, or delivery-oriented workflows.
Antibody–nanoparticle conjugates can be configured for diagnostics, imaging, biosensing, separation, and delivery systems.
Different nanoparticle systems bring different functional advantages. Gold nanoparticles support colorimetric detection and lateral flow systems, magnetic particles enable separation and enrichment, quantum dots provide fluorescent imaging capability, and polymer or silica nanoparticles can be used for engineered delivery and surface-functionalized analytical workflows.
Built around the final application: The best nanoparticle conjugation strategy depends on particle type, surface chemistry, antibody format, stability requirements, signal readout, and whether the goal is detection, separation, imaging, or delivery.
