Electrochemical studies of lateral flow assay test results for procalcitonin detection

In this study, the lateral flow assay (LFA) has been developed for the detection of bacterial infection (BI) by specific biomarker procalcitonin (PCT), without a need for complicated instrumentations and technical expertise. For the development of the assay, gold nanoparticles (AuNP) and their conj...
