Rapid Detection of Escherichia coli by Using Antibody‐Conjugated Silver Nanoshells

Abstract: Silver shells of 20 nm thickness have been deposited on silica particles of 200 nm diameter with narrow size distribution. Silver nanoshells dispersed in water exhibit a strong surface plasmon resonance band at 443 nm. This band was found to be very sensitive to rabbit immunoglobulin G antibodies, which were anchored on the nanoshells. These in turn could be utilized to detect the presence of small (approximately 5) to large numbers (approximately 10(9)) of Escherichia coli in water. The protocol presented her… Show more

“…Nanoshells are another type of metal nanostructures with interesting optical properties useful for various applications [59][60][61][62][63]. These structures, which are typically made of spherical silica cores surrounded by a layer of noble metal aggregates, have variation in size, shape and surface morphology due to the random nature of aggregation [64,65].…”
