Cover Story: Three enhanced techniques of lateral flow immunoassay for the SARS-CoV-2 antigen (receptor-binding domain) were compared with a conventional assay. The enhancements are based on in situ enlargement of Au nanoparticles (NPs) via the formation of: (i) Ag shell around Au NPs; (ii) Ag shell around Au NPs with the following galvanic replacement of Ag atoms by HAuCl4; (iii) Au shell around Au NPs. The third technique provides a minimal limit of detection, being 500 times more sensitive than the conventional assay. View this paper.
