Applications of Conjugated Polymer Nanoparticles in western blot and lateral flow point-of-care diagnostics

Conjugated Polymer Nanoparticle™ properties

Conjugated Polymer Nanoparticles (CPNs™) are fluorescent nanoparticles with a range of unique properties that can significantly benefit many life science applications (1). Each CPN™ contains a semiconductor light-emitting polymer core – containing iron oxide – encapsulated within a biocompatible surfactant, permitting a range of surface chemistries for targeting molecule conjugation. CPNs™ demonstrate intense fluorescence across emission wavelengths ranging from 420 to 1130 nm, with consistent brightness and size (approximately 80 nm), as can be seen under a super-resolution microscope (Figure 1).
