Evaluation of Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) as a Detection Modality for the Development of a Quantitative Rapid Vertical Flow Assay
FY 2016-17
Summary
Rapid diagnosis of human disease at the patient point-of-care is key to timely and effective treatment. Thisresearch project will explore the extent to which an advanced spectroscopic technique, known assurface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) can be used to render a simple rapid vertical flow assay into amuch more powerful quantitative test. A quantitative rapid vertical flow assay, which this project seeks todemonstrate, would allow for earlier detection of human disease, and would allow for improved health caremonitoring (such as in determination of HIV viral load, etc). All of this would still be possible at the patientpoint-of-care, which would ensure rapid and effective disease treatment.
