One of the highly sought products is the nanorod, coming in different forms. They come in two different types, one synthesized with metals and other synthesized with elements. Gold nano rods are famous for its contribution to the world of bioscience.
Nanorod contributes to diagnosing and treating the tumor cells!
These rods come with a dimension ranging from one to hundred nano meters. Ligands contribute to the shape of the rods, by bonding with the different atoms or molecules of the rods with different strengths. This allows the various facets of nano rods to grow thereby producing an elongated object.
Apart from the rods of gold, some of the other types are iron hydroxide, iron oxide, and manganese oxide rods. They are prepared by the synthesis of the chemical, metals or elements accordingly. Based on the electrical field applied, changes the reflectivity of the rods in turn thereby by producing the elongated structure due to the change in the orientation.
Their contribution to the microelectromechanical systems has been surprising many. These rods along with other nano particles serve as an excellent theragnostic agent. They are perfect for diagnosing and treating cancer and tumor cells.
Just with few drops of blood, the cancer diagnosis can be done. This option would rule out the various paining and costly treatment like biopsy for diagnosing the disease. When they are induced with infra red light, they generate heat. This process is apt for destroying the tumor cells found in cancer patients.
Normally any radiation therapy for cancer affects or destroys the good cells in the nearby area. However this process with the nano rods does not harm the good cells surrounding that area. Know the amazing benefits of this product and get ready to enjoy them!
