From: Synergistic antibacterial effect of copper and silver nanoparticles and their mechanism of action
Production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in suspensions. Measurement of induction of ROS in abiotic (a, c) and biotic (b, d) conditions. Measurement of ROS induction was performed after incubation with components alone (a, b) or in the mix of cAg and Cu components in a ratio 1:4 (c, d). cAg, Coated silver nanoparticles; AgNO3, Silver nitrate; CuO, Copper oxide; CuO–NH2, Copper oxide coated with amino groups; CuSO4, Copper sulphate; RFU, Relative fluorescence units.
