In this paper we describe a simple colorimetric method for the sensitive and selective detection of Ba2+ ions, using 11-mercaptoundecylphosphonic acid functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs–MPA) in aqueous solution.
A new method for preparing AuNPs has been successfully developed by using pyridine-formaldehyde as reducing agent. The AuNPs were used in colorimetric sensor for detection of Pb2+ in aqueous solutions.
The trans-cleavage activity of the target-activated CRISPR-Cas12a liberated an RNA crosslinker from a molecular transducer, which facilitated assembly of gold nanoparticles. Integration of the molecular transducer with isothermal amplification and...
An Au NP based facile strategy for the rapid, early-stage, and sensitive detection of HCV RNA in clinical samples which avoids thiol tagging to the antisense oligonucleotide and expensive infrastructure is presented.
