Journal ArticleDOI
A rapid bioassay for single bacterial cell quantitation using bioconjugated nanoparticles
Xiaojun Zhao,Lisa R. Hilliard,Shelly John Mechery,Yanping Wang,Rahul P. Bagwe,Shouguang Jin,Weihong Tan +6 more
TL;DR: A bioconjugated nanoparticle-based bioassay for in situ pathogen quantification down to single bacterium within 20 min, confirmed by the plate-counting method and realized by using two independent optical techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrasensitive DNA detection using highly fluorescent bioconjugated nanoparticles.
TL;DR: A novel DNA bioanalysis method with a 0.8 fM (0.8 x 10-15 M) detection limit using a bioconjugated fluorescent nanoparticle-based sandwich assay that can effectively discriminate one-base mismatched DNA sequences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of Organic‐Dye‐Doped Silica Nanoparticles in a Reverse Microemulsion
Journal ArticleDOI
Watching Silica Nanoparticles Glow in the Biological World
Lin Wang,Kemin Wang,Swadeshmukul Santra,Xiaojun Zhao,Lisa R. Hilliard,Joshua E. Smith,Yanrong Wu,Weihong Tan +7 more
TL;DR: The glow and photostability, along with other advantages, of dye-doped silica nanoparticles make their future bright in bioanalytical applications as mentioned in this paper, and they have been shown to be useful in many applications.
