Low-cost diagnostics for drinking water contamination have the potential to save millions of lives. We report a method that uses inkjet printing to copattern an enzyme-nanoparticle sensor and substrate on a paper-based test strip for rapid detection of bacteria. A colorimetric response is generated on the paper substrate that allows visual detection of contamination without the need for expensive instrumentation. These strips demonstrate a viable nanomanufacturing strategy for low-cost bacterial detection.
用于检测饮用水污染的低成本诊断方法有潜力挽救数百万人的生命。我们报告了一种方法，该方法利用喷墨印刷技术在纸质测试条上共同图案化酶-纳米颗粒传感器和底物，以快速检测细菌。在纸质底物上产生比色反应，无需昂贵的仪器即可实现对污染的视觉检测。这些测试条展示了一种用于低成本细菌检测的可行的纳米制造策略。
