Synthesis and Application of Non-Spherical Nanoparticles as Labels in Immunochromatography of Surface-Active Substances

Abstract

Series of preparations of nanoparticles of various shapes, compositions, and surface patterns have been obtained. All preparations are conjugated with staphylococcal protein A by physical adsorption and tested in an indirect scheme for the immunochromatographic determination of nonylphenol, a non-ionic surfactant, a significant technogenic toxic environmental contaminant.
