Abstract
Gold sol coated with alkanethiols and alkanethiol derivatives, which provide groups on the sol available for the linking of binding moieties such as antibodies, antigens or ligands to the gold sol. Di- and tri-thiol compounds bound to gold sol also facilitate the adsorption of antibodies, antigens or ligands to the sol. The coating process, and test kits incorporating the coated sols are also included.
