Colloidal nanoparticles as advanced biological sensors

Howes, Philip D., Chandrawati, Rona, Stevens, Molly M.·2014·Science

Abstract

Biological sensing using nanoparticles: Colloidal fluorescent and plasmonic nanoparticles yield intense responses to incident light, making them useful as sensors or probes for sensitive detection in solution. Howes et al. review the potential uses of nanoparticle biosensors in research and diagnostics. A range of methods allow for the chemical modification of the particle surfaces so that they can be tuned for specific analytes and give optical signals for a range of biological conditions of interest. Signals can be detected in complex media or in vivo making the particles of interest for both laboratory research and in clinical settings. Science , this issue 10.1126/science.1247390

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.
