This study presents a device for protein detection using a low-pass radio frequency filter with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Self-assembled multilayer gold nanoparticles were immobilized on the sensing surface of the filter by sandwich immunoassay. The measured frequency of the filter ranges from 50MHzto30GHz. The multilayer gold nanoparticles result in a change of 3dB bandwidth of the low-pass filter. Results show that 1ng∕μl of RIgG solution can be detected after triple-layer AuNPs are completely formed. The change in 3dB bandwidth increases with the concentration of target protein. Therefore, this device has potential for protein quantification.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
