Ultrafast no-wash bioassay based on gold nanoparticles and enhanced by acoustic streaming
No-wash bioassays based on nanoparticles are used widely in biochemical procedures because of their responsive sensing and no need for washing processes. Essential for no-wash biosensing are the interactions between nanoparticles and biomolecules, but it
