Abstract
A novel method for preparing gold nanorods that are first coated with a thin silica film and then functionalized with single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) is presented. Coating the nanorods with 3−5 nm of silica improves their solubility and stability. Amine-modified ssDNA is attached to the silica-coated gold nanorods via a reductive amination reaction with an aldehyde trimethoxysilane monolayer. The nanorods exhibit an intense absorption band at 780 nm, and are used to enhance the sensitivity of surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRI) measurements on DNA microarrays.Keywords
