Thiol ChemicalsThiols

Our thiols enhance the sensitivity, selectivity and specificity of chemically modified gold surfaces. An alkanethiol will stick to a gold surface and form an ordered assembly with the alkyl chains packing together. We currently offer Whitesides monothiols and aromatic-dithiols in 10mg quantities. Larger quantities are available upon request.


Common applications include chemical modification of surfaces used in:

  • AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy)
    - chemically and biologically functionalized tips and substrates
  • DPN (Dip-Pen Nanolithography)
  • SPR (Surface Plasmon Resonance)
  • QCM (Quartz Crystal Microbalance)
  • Gold nanoparticles
  • Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
  • Electrochemical sensors
  • Microcontact printing
  • UV photopatterning
