'Overloading' fluorescent silica nanoparticles with dyes to improve biosensor performance

Vladimir Gubala, Giorgia Giovannini, Colin J. Moore, Filip Kunc, Andrew J. Hall

Using dye-doped silica nanoparticles (DSNP) as reporter probes, we describe a simple method of enhancing fluorescent signal and the extension of the detectable target concentration range in a proof-of-concept 'dissolution immunoassay'.
