Gold bipyramid (GBP) nanoparticles are promising for a range of biomedical applications, including biosensing and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, due to their favorable optical properties and ease of chemical functionalization. Here we report improved synthesis methods, including preparation of gold seed particles with an increased shelf life of ∼1 month, and preparation of GBPs with significantly shortened synthesis time ( less then 1 h). We also report methods for the functionalization and bioconjugation of the GBPs, includi
