Abstract:
1. A method for producing conjugates that comprise a metal-containing nanoparticulate component and an organic component, the method comprising: mixing a carrier fluid with a precursor of the organic component; flowing the carrier fluid with the precursor of the organic component through a flow channel and over a metal or metal oxide body situated within the flow channel in a section of the flow channel between an inlet and outlet of the flow channel, irradiating the surface of the metal or metal oxide body during said flowing using a continuous laser beam to produce metal-containing nanoparticles, wherein the carrier fluid is moved over the surface of the metal or metal oxide body by a pumping device, and the carrier fluid is moved from the inlet opening to the outlet opening permitting the precursor of the organic component to bond with the metal-containing nanoparticles and form the conjugates that comprise the metal-containing nanoparticulate component and organic component.
