Our science

NChrovia is leveraging a novel nanomaterial, DNA-templated silver nanoclusters (DNA/AgNCs) to make a one-of-a-kind fluorescent probe which shows intriguing color-switching property. Our aim is to increase sensitivity and accuracy by using dual-color approach for ratiometric sensing preventing false-positive results.

What is DNA/AgNCs?

DNA-templated silver nanoclusters (DNA-AgNCs) are a unique class of bioinorganic nanomaterials. The optical properties and biological activities of DNA-AgNCs are readily modulated by the minor adjustments in the sequence or structure of the templating oligonucleotide.
