Abstract

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is among the leading causes of pediatric death and to date there is no effective treatment. Current diagnostic methods for RSV including polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or lateral flow immunoassay, are either costly and time consuming or lack of sufficient sensitivity. We report a novel digital nanobubble detection as a read-out method that remarkably improves the limit of detection (LOD) of the colorimetric plasmonic coupling assay (PCA) by 3 orders of magnitude. The sample-to-answer diagnosis can be achieved within 30 minutes by minimal additional time to the already rapid PCA.
