Gold Nanoparticles for Diagnostics: Advances towards Points of Care

Gold Nanoparticles for Diagnostics: Advances towards Points of Care

The remarkable physicochemical properties of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have prompted developments in the exploration of biomolecular interactions with AuNP-containing systems, in particular for biomedical applications in diagnostics. These systems show great promise in improving sensitivity, ease o...
