Abstract
Here we report PEI-mediated copper in situ deposition (CISD) as a general signal enhancement strategy for a commercial colloidal gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)-based lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) platform. The copper shell could be coated on AuNPs which aggregate on the test line to form core–shell structured composites (AuNPs@Cu) to deepen the colorimetric signal of the strips. After critical elements that affect Cu deposition yields were optimized, a significant signal amplification has been acquired with limit of detection (LOD) improvements of 40 times by naked-eye identification and 100 times by quantitative instrumental analysis using human hemoglobin (hHb) as a target. This study demonstrates a common and simple strategy for upgrading the detection sensitivity of a commercial AuNPs-LFIA platform with a whole running time of 20 min.
