Metal nanoparticles as a new type of labels
in rapid immunoassay methods
Abstract
The brief overview of the main directions
of development of rapid immunoassays. Emphasis is placed on the principles and
functioning of the lateral flow immunoassay systems. The basic properties,
advantages and benefits of metal nanoparticles as a new class of labels used in
immunochemical analysis. The possibility of using gold nanoparticles, quantum
dots, magnetic nanoparticles and the development of new highly sensitive
detection systems are discussed.
Key words: lateral flow immunoassay, gold
nanoparticles, quantum dots, magnetic nanoparticles.
