Several types of assays are particularly susceptible to interference from nanoparticles, including:
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs): Due to their reliance on optical density measurements, ELISAs can be significantly impacted by nanoparticles that absorb or scatter light. Colorimetric assays: These assays depend on color changes for detection, and any nanoparticle that alters the light path can skew the results. Fluorescence-based assays: Similar to colorimetric assays, any nanoparticle that affects fluorescence emission or excitation can interfere with these assays.
