Description:
A nanotech based approach to home
pregnancy tests makes use of the unique
optical properties of gold nanoparticles
resulting from surface plasmons. The
Carter-Wallace home pregnancy test "First
Response", uses conventional micrometresized
latex particles in conjunction with gold
nanoparticles (less than 50 nm diameter) to
produce a pink colour when exposed to certain hormones produced by pregnant women. |
