Fig 1. Labelling of TiO2-NTs with fluorophore Alexa via the two steps-reaction of the TiO2-NTs surface modification.

Fig 1

Firstly, 3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyltrimethoxysilane (AEAPMS) is attached to free–OH groups of the nanotubes’ surface (fTiO2-NT). Secondly, the Alexa 488 SDP ester is covalently linked to the free amino groups of silane molecules (A-TiO2-NT).
