    • Development and optimisation of gold nanoparticle based bioassays 

      Mulder, Danielle Wingrove (North-West University (South Africa). Potchefstroom Campus, 2019)
      Gold nanoparticles, in particular nanostars, are being utilised more regularly in the field of biosensing. Despite their useful attributes, there is still a need to optimise aspects of the synthesis and stability of the ...
    • Development of enzymatic assays using a universal detection system based on nanotechnology 

      Phiri, Masauso Moses (North-West University (South Africa), 2019)
      Nanotechnology offers the technological potential that can be harnessed to deal with the diagnostic challenges in resource-constrained settings. Optical biosensors based on nanotechnology have being explored for biomedical ...
    • Seedless gold nanostars with seed-like advantages for biosensing applications 

      Phiri, Masauso Moses; Mulder, Danielle Wingrove; Vorster, Barend Christiaan (The Royal Society, 2019)
      Gold nanostars (AuNSs) are seen as promising building blocks for biosensors with potential for easy readouts based on naked-eye and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy detection. We present a seedless synthesis strategy for ...
