Average Hydrodynamic Diameter

A simple and sensitive assay for Ag+ was developed with unmodified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by using dynamic light scattering techniques. Ag+ could induce the oligonucleotide (5′-ATC ACT ATA TCA TAT ACT CAT-3′) to change from a single-stranded structure to a double-stranded structure and desorb from the surface of AuNPs, which triggered the aggregation of AuNPs in the salt solution. The average hydrodynamic diameter of aggregated AuNPs could be detected by using dynamic light scattering techniques. Under the optimum conditions, the average hydrodynamic diameter of AuNPs is proportional to the concentration of Ag+ within the range of 13.3–100.0 nmol/L, with a detection limit of 3.2 nmol/L. The method is easy to operate and has low sample consumption, high sensitivity and selectivity.

The One

Dynamic light scattering is a method that depends on the interaction of light with particles. This method can be used for measurements of narrow particle size distributions especially in the range of 2–500 nm. Sample polydispersity can distort the results, and we could not see the real populations of particles because big particles presented in the sample can screen smaller ones. Although the theory and mathematical basics of DLS technique are already well known, little has been done to determine its limits experimentally. The size and size distribution of artificially prepared polydisperse silver nanoparticles (NPs) colloids were studied using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. Polydisperse colloids were prepared based on the mixture of chemically synthesized monodisperse colloids well characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), DLS, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Analysis of the DLS results obtained for polydisperse colloids reveals that several percent of the volume content of bigger NPs could screen completely the presence of smaller ones. The presented results could be extremely important from nanoparticles metrology point of view and should help to understand experimental data especially for the one who works with DLS and/or UV-Vis only.

In continuing studies of the aggregation behaviour of squaraine dyes in DMSO-water mixtures, we have examined a series of symmetrical anilino-based squaraines with increasing N-alkyl chain length (n-butyl, n-octyl, and n-dodecyl). The aggregation behaviour was assessed through UV/vis spectroscopic and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) studies with quantitative interpretation based on exciton theory. This class of N-alkyl squaraines forms two distinct solution aggregates, Type J and Type H, depending on the composition of the DMSO-water medium. DLS measurement of the aggregates in the Type J and Type H morphologies showed that (i) the particle diameter increased with increasing hydrophobicity; (ii) DMSO has a large effect on the aggregate size; (iii) Type J aggregates are of equal dimensions with Type H aggregates. Moreover, even though as the DMSO-water solvent composition is varied the UV/vis spectra of Type H and Type J aggregates remained unchanged, the number of molecules comprising each aggregate varies widely. It is proposed that the dynamic conversion (J →> H) results from intramolecular reorganization of individual molecules within the aggregate. Quantification of aggregation through DLS has further developed the "kinetic" versus "thermodynamic" control model of dye aggregation.Key words: squaraine, dynamic light scattering, DMSO-water mixtures, self-assembly, kinetic/thermodynamic control.
