Highly portable quantitative screening test for prostate-specific antigen at point of care
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most diagnosed cancer among men. Targeted PCa screening may decrease PCa-specific mortality. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is the most reliable and widely accepted tumor biomarker for screening and monitoring PCa status. However, in many settings, quantification...

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most diagnosed cancer among men. Targeted PCa screening may decrease PCa-specific mortality. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is the most reliable and widely accepted tumor biomarker for screening and monitoring PCa status. However, in many settings, quantification of serum PSA requires access to centralized laboratories. In this study, we describe a proof-of-concept rapid test combined with a highly portable CubeTM reader for quantification of total PSA from a drop of serum within 20 min. We demonstrated the application of gold nanoshells as a label for lateral flow assay with significant increase in the measured colorimetric signal intensity to achieve five times lower detection limit when compared to the traditionally used 40 nm gold nanosphere labels, without a need for any additional signal amplification steps. We first optimized and evaluated the performance of the assay with commercially available total PSA calibrators.
