Micropreparative Gel Electrophoresis for Purification of Nanoscale Bioconjugates

Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Yahya Rabbani, Shang-Jung Wu, Vitalijs Zubkovs, Sayyed Hashem Sajjadi

Conventional techniques for purifying macromolecular conjugates often require complex and costly installments that are inaccessible to most laboratories. In this work, we develop a one-step micropreparative method based on a trilayered polyacrylamide gel e ...

Plasmon-induced near-infrared fluorescence enhancement of single-walled carbon nanotubes

Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Giulia Tagliabue, Alessandra Antonucci, Shang-Jung Wu, Theodoros Tsoulos, Sayyed Hashem Sajjadi, Amirmostafa Amirjani

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) emit near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence that is ideal for optical sensing. However, the low quantum yields diminish the sensor’s signal-to-noise ratio and limits the penetration depths for in vivo measurements. In this ...

Site-Specific Protein Conjugation onto Fluorescent Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Shang-Jung Wu, Vitalijs Zubkovs, Nils Schürgers

Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are among the few photostable optical emitters that are ideal for sensing, imaging, drug delivery, and monitoring of protein activity. These applications often require strategies for immobilizing prote ...
