Comparison of Behaviour in Different Liquids and in Cells of Gold Nanorods and Spherical Nanoparticles Modified by Linear Polyethyleneimine and Bovine Serum Albumin

Figure 2

Characteristics of gold NPs obtained by dynamic light scattering. (a), (b) Zeta potential values (gray bars, left axes) and particle size (circles, right axes) of GNPs in different liquids: (1) initial GNPs in water, (2) DMEM, (3) conditioned DMEM, (4) 10% FBS, and (5) PBS. (c) Absolute value of changes in the zeta potential (gray bars, left axes) and particle size (circles, right axis) values of GNPs in DMEM (gray bars) and conditioned DMEM (white bars) in comparison with initial GNPs (citrate-sGNPs and CTAB-GNRs) in water. The left block corresponds to DMEM and the right block corresponds to conditioned DMEM. All values are averaged over three experiments.
