Abstract

See full text

A method of detecting a presence of an analyte in a sample. The method includes selecting an aptamer selective to the analyte and binding the aptamer to a nanoparticle. The nanoparticles having a free state are perceived as a first color and an aggregate state are perceived as a second color. The sample is introduced to the nanoparticle-bound aptamers, and aggregation of the nanoparticles is promoted. A colorimetric change is analyzed, wherein the aggregate state of the nanoparticles is achieved in the presence of the analyte in the sample.
