Numerical Modelling of the Optical Properties of Plasmonic and Latex Nanoparticles to Improve the Detection Limit of Immuno-Turbidimetric Assays.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Turbidimetric assays with latex nanoparticles are widely applied for the detection of biological analytes, because of their rapidity, low cost, reproducibility, and automatization. However, the detection limit can be lowered only at the price of a reduced dynamic range, due to the rapid saturation of the light scattering signal at high analyte concentration. Here, we use numerical calculations to investigate the possibility of increasing the performance of immuno-turbidimetric assays without compromising the measurement dynamic range, by combining plasmonic (gold, silver) and latex nanoparticles. Our modelling results show that plasmonic nanoparticles are compatible with a large signal change even when small aggregates are formed, i.e., at low analyte concentration. The working principle relies on the remarkable modification of the surface plasmon band when noble metal nanoparticles form oligomers, and also when latex particles are included in the aggregate. At high analyte concentration, when larger aggregates form, the latex particles can provide the required linear response of standard immuno-turbidimetric assays. Thus, the combination of the two components can be a successful strategy to improve the detection limit and the dynamic range, while maintaining all the advantages of the homogeneous immuno-turbidimetric assays.
