Signal amplification and quantification on lateral flow assays by laser excitation of plasmonic nanomaterials
摘要： Lateral flow assay (LFA) has become one of the most widely used point-of-care diagnostic methods due to its simplicity and low cost. While easy to use, LFA suffers from its low sensitivity and poor quantification, which largely limits its applications for early disease diagnosis and requires further testing to eliminate false-negative results. Over the past decade, signal enhancement strategies that took advantage of the laser excitation of plasmonic nanomaterials have pushed down the detection limit and enabled quantification of analytes. Significantly, these methods amplify the signal based on the current LFA design without modification. This review highlights these strategies of signal enhancement for LFA including surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), photothermal and photoacoustic methods. Perspectives on the rational design of the reader systems are provided. Future translation of the research toward clinical applications is also discussed.

Temperature Variations of Gold Nanoparticle and Dynamics of Plasmonic Bubble in Water Under Nanosecond Pulsed Laser
摘要： Suspended gold nanoparticle in water medium starts to warm up under nanosecond laser irradiation and creates a bubble around itself. The present study aims at evaluating the amount of nanoparticle size reduction at boiling temperature, the temperature variations of the nanoparticle, and its medium and finally the bubble formation moment. To this aim, Mie theory was used to calculate the absorption cross section of the nanoparticle in proximity of the bubble. Heat transfer equations were applied to determine the temperature of the nanoparticle and water. In addition, hydrodynamic equations were initiated to evaluate the expansion of the bubble. Then, these three groups of equations were coupled together and solved numerically. Based on the results, the bubble forms at the critical pressure and consequently due to the slow bubble velocity, temperature gradient in the medium is observed. Further, slight pulse width variations play a significant role on the nanoparticle temperature. The calculation of the nanoparticle heating associated with the creation of the bubble helps in controlling nanoparticle size and understanding the nanoscale heat transfer processes.
