The antibacterial activity of silver has long been known and has found a variety of applications. Silver can continually release silver ions, which may be considered the mechanism of killing microbes. Owing to electrostatic attraction and affinity to sulfur proteins, silver ions can adhere to the cell wall and cytoplasmic membrane and finally lead to bacterial disruption. Silver nano particles have been widely used as antibacterial agents, in industrial, household, and healthcare-related products, in consumer products, medical device coatings, optical sensors, and cosmetics, in the pharmaceutical industry, the food industry, in diagnostics, orthopedics, drug delivery, as anticancer agents, and biosensors for cancer diagnosis, medical imaging, and coating of vascular prostheses because of to their peculiar properties. Histogenotech Company offers synthesizing and characterization services for various types of silver nanoparticles with the highest level of expertise and support.

Zink oxide (ZnO) is one of the most widely used metal oxide/metal nanoparticles to synthesize biological nanoparticles for medical and pharmaceutical purposes. Nano-sized ZnO exhibits varying morphologies and shows significant antibacterial activity over a wide spectrum of bacterial species explored by a large body of researchers. ZnO holds a unique optical, chemical sensing, semiconducting, electric conductivity, and piezoelectric properties. Zink oxide crystalyzes can be found in cubic and hexagonal wurtzite (Wz) structure but using of hexagonal ZnO is more common due to its ambient stability. Antibiotic-resistant infections caused by Gram-negative pathogens pose a major threat to human health. Zink oxide nano-particle is significantly reduced the pathogen generations and phenotype resistance and minimizing unnecessary prescribing and overprescribing of antibiotics. ZnO is a bio-safe material without any major negative side effects to human. Histogenotech Company provides nanomaterials synthesizing and characterization services for students and research scholars with the highest level of expertise and support.

Magnetic NPs such as Iron-oxide nanoparticles have many unique magnetic properties such as superparamagnetic, high coercively, low Curie temperature, high magnetic susceptibility, etc. Magnetic NPs are of great interest for researchers from a broad range of disciplines, including magnetic fluids, data storage, catalysis, and bio-applications. However, these nano-sized iron oxide particles are faced with several weaknesses such as inherent instability in the presence of air (oxidation), insbility to metabolize in the body and removal from the body. Therefore, permeation of high concentrations of iron ions to the mitochondrial wall and nucleus can be caused toxicity within the body. Thus, iron cores are coated with organic/ inorganic polymers in order to minimize these destructive features. Moreover, it can be enhanced the biocompatibility of these particles and allows the various ligands including antibodies to attach their surface.

The cells or biomolecules which are non-magnetic in nature can be attached to magnetic responsive beads and thus manipulated using an external magnetic field and the cells are directed by means of a magnetic field gradient towards certain tissue targets. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have found widespread applications in the biomedical field compared to the other magnetic nanoparticles. Nanoscale iron particles are sub-micrometer particles of iron metal. They are highly reactive because of their large surface area and can be rapidly oxidized to form free iron ions in the presence of oxygen and water. They have been used widely in medical and laboratory applications and have also been studied for remediation of contaminated industrial sites with chlorinated organic compounds. Histogenotech research center offers synthesize and characterization of nano-structured materials using the most advanced laboratory equipment.
