The complex <strong>of</strong> antigen and nanogold labeled antibodies accumulated and a higher amount <strong>of</strong><br />
gold nanoparticles in close proximity were brought in the enhanced test strip. As a result, higher<br />
Intensity <strong>of</strong> the localized surface plasmon resonance absorbance <strong>of</strong> the nanogold particles are<br />
able to obtain and a distinct red color can be easily observed.
