What is Colloidal Gold ? Colloidal Gold refers to a sol- or colloidal suspension made of gold nanoparticles in water. The most common colloids are wine red for spherical particle sizes less than 100nm and blue/purple for larger spherical particles, or nanorods. The optical, electronic, molecular recognition and optical properties of gold nanoparticles make them a subject of extensive research in many fields, including electronics, nanotechnology, biomedicine and electron microscopy.
Their shape and size are important factors in the properties of colloidal silver nanoparticles. The rod-shaped particles for example have transverse absorption peaks and longitudinal absorption peak peaks. Their self-assembly is affected by anisotropy.

Because of the interaction between nanoparticles of visible light and colloidal gold, artists have been using it for centuries. Depending upon the particle size, shape, local index and state of aggregation of gold nanoparticles, colors can be produced by light absorption and scattering. These colors range from bright red (smaller particles), to blue (larger particles), and finally transparent and uncolored (larger particles). These colors are due to a phenomenon known as local surface plasmon reflection (LSPR), where conducting electrons on the nanoparticles react with incident sunlight.
In general, the wavelength of absorbed light increases as the nanoparticles get larger. Pseudospherical gold nanoparticles have a diameter of around 30 nm and peak LSPR absorbtion at about 530 nm.
A colloidal gold suspension may also cause apparent changes in color of the gold-nanoparticles solution. The optical properties and optical properties are dependent on the refractive indices near the surface of the gold nanoparticles. This means that two molecules (i.e., nanoparticles glue) or nanoparticles of solvent can have an impact on the observed optical characteristics. NP LSPR shifts to longer wavelengths when the refractive Index near the surface of gold increases. However, this is not possible in solvent environments. Nanoparticles can be coated non-conductive shells (biomolecules or alumina) to adjust the extinction peak.
Gold nanoparticles aggregate and change their optical properties as the effective particle size, shape, dielectric environment, and other factors.

What does Colloidal Gold do?
Drug delivery system
Nanoparticles of gold can be used for optimizing the biological distribution drugs in diseased tissues, organs, and cells. This will allow for better drug delivery. Only if drug distribution is insufficient, nanoparticle mediated drug Delivery is possible. Examples of this include drug targeting against stability (proteins, siRNA and DNA). Delivery to hard sites (brains, retinas, tumors, intracellular organismelles) and drugs that have severe side effects (e.g., antibiotics for cancer) are examples. Nanoparticle performance is affected by the particle size and their surface function. Additionally, drug release and particle degradation can differ from one system or another (e.g. ph sensitive biodegradable materials

Radiotherapy dose increaser
To increase tumor-specific doses, there has been much interest in gold and other particles containing heavy elements. Because the dose is selectively raised because the gold nanoparticles get absorbed by tumors more than healthy tissue nearby, The local deposition near the nanoparticles is what appears to make the treatment more biologically effective. This process is similar to heavy ion treatment.

Toxic gas detection
Based on the AuNPs characteristics of gold nanoparticles, a simple and affordable method has been developed to detect H2S in the atmosphere. H2S can be dissolved in weakly alkaline buffer solution to form HS-. This stabilizes AuNPs and makes them red. It allows naked detection for H2S toxicity levels.

What’s the Difference Between Colloidal Silver And Colloidal Gold
The widespread use of colloidal silver for treatment of a wide range conditions includes viral and bacterial infection, allergies, burns, skin conditions and even cancer.
Colloidal gold has been shown to improve memory and cognitive function as well as reduce stress and headaches.

Is Colloidal Gold Natural?
The gold nanoparticles are an all-natural substance, without any chemical additives.
