Microwave-assisted one-step rapid synthesis of folic acid modified gold nanoparticles for cancer cell targeting and detection

Abstract

In this study, folic acid-protected gold nanoparticles (FA-GNPs) were fabricated by one-step reduction of HAuCl4 by folic acid under microwave irradiation. FA-GNPs were successfully used to target and detect human cervical carcinoma cells.
