Label-free biosensing with lipid-functionalized gold nanorods. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The fabrication of a label-free mass spectrometry and optical detection-based biosensor platform for the detection of low-abundance lipophilic analytes in complex mixtures is described. The biosensor consists of a lipid layer partially tethered to the surface of a gold nanorod. The effectiveness of the biosensor is demonstrated for the label-free detection of a lipophilic drug in aqueous solution and a lipopeptide in serum.
