Publication Date: 07-03-2025 File Date: 01-09-2023
Inventor(s): Sanjana Sudhir Varma; Bhushan Pradosh Chaudhari
IPC Classification: G01N 33/543, G01N 33/569, B01J 23/52, B82Y 30/00
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an analyte detection device for detecting one or more analytes present in test samples. Specifically,  the present disclosure relates to covalently-functionalized gold nanorod conjugates and a lateral flow assay device comprising the  same for in-vitro detection of TSH levels from biological samples. The present disclosure also relates to the method of producing the  lateral flow assay device comprising covalently-functionalized gold nanorod conjugates.
Startup Options:
Advantages and applications of the present disclosure: 
• Provides modified gold nanorods (GNRs), which are highly stable and sensitive for TSH detection.
• TSH antibody-gold nanorods bioconjugate of 20 OD was used to prepare LFA. However, LFA also worked with 5 OD and 10 OD bioconjugates.
• The concentration of capture antibody (10-2429) was varied on test line from 1-3 mg/ml at 3mg/ml we got the appropriate results.
• The sample volume of 50µl for the LFA was optimized. The volume was varied from 30-50µl.
