Abstract

Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) as signal reporters have been utilized in colorimetric in vitro diagnostics (IVDs) for decades. Nevertheless, it remains a grand challenge to substantially enhance the detection sensitivity of AuNP-based IVDs as confined by the inherent plasmonics of AuNPs. In this work, we circumvent this confinement by developing unique dual-functional AuNPs that were engineered by coating conventional AuNPs with ultrathin Pt skins of sub-10 atomic layers (i.e., Au@Pt NPs). The Au@Pt NPs retain the plasmonic activity of initial AuNPs while possessing ultrahigh catalytic activity enabled by Pt skins. Such dual functionalities, plasmonics and catalysis, offer two different detection alternatives: one produced just by the color from plasmonics (low-sensitivity mode) and the second more sensitive color catalyzed from chromogenic substrates (high-sensitivity mode), achieving an "on-demand" tuning of the detection performance. Using lateral flow assay as a model IVD platform and conventional AuNPs as a benchmark, we demonstrate that the Au@Pt NPs could enhance detection sensitivity by 2 orders of magnitude.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
