Cover Story: A rapid, selective assay using 35 nm gold nanoparticles to detect a common EGFR mutation linked to non-small-cell lung cancer was developed. Gold nanoparticles were synthesized with high stability and monodispersity via a seed-mediated growth method and further functionalized with a 16 bp thiolated oligonucleotide using a pH-assisted approach. Our assay achieved a detection limit of 1.5 ug mL−1 using a 0.15 nmol dm−3 gold nanoparticle concentration. This study offers a simple, cost-effective method for detecting lung cancer-related DNA sequences, potentially enabling early diagnosis. View this paper
