Nanoparticles are emerging as powerful tools for research, therapeutic, and diagnostic applications and their utility as lateral flow test probes has gained prominence in recent years. As the need for more sensitive tests increases, new types of nanoparticles are being investigated and incorporated into lateral flow assays.
In response, scientists at Fortis Life Sciences have developed nanoshell reporter particles, comprised of a silica core and gold shell, and recent results show their capability to significantly improve the sensitivity of some assays by enhancing the visual contrast generated by each probe and analyte binding event. This webinar will highlight:
