Micro & Nanoparticle Conjugation Services
Micro and nanoparticle conjugates are pivotal in the advancement of various scientific and industrial fields, ranging from healthcare to materials science.
These particles, engineered at micro to nanoscale, are versatile tools designed for targeted delivery and controlled release of substances, diagnostic imaging, and even as functional components in advanced materials and electronics.
Nanoparticles are particularly noted for their ability to interact at the cellular and molecular level, which makes them invaluable in medicine for targeted drug delivery and imaging, but also in technology for the creation of novel biomaterials and sensors. Their small size allows them to offer unique properties.

Previous Projects
F(ab')2 Nanoparticle optimisation
This project focused on re-optimising a client's microparticle labelling method for use in turbidimetric assays. Specifically, the enhancement of the F(ab')2-particle conjugation process aimed to improve the performance of the reagent beyond their company's existing methodology. This optimised method has now been adopted by the client for routine evaluation in the development of new assays.
Development of Quantum Dot Antibody Conjugates
This project involved developing quantum dot antibody conjugates, specifically tailored for manufacturing reagents used in Western blot and flow cytometry applications. This advancement aimed to enhance the sensitivity and specificity of these diagnostic techniques by incorporating quantum dot technology, thereby improving the detection capabilities of these assays.
Immobalisation of HLA Protein to a Magnetic Particle
This project focused on the immobilisation of Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) onto magnetic particles, with a critical emphasis on achieving maximum coverage while ensuring that the protein’s functionality remained intact. This process was meticulously designed to optimise the protein’s activity and stability within the technology.
