Sonochemical synthesis of polyoxometalate-stabilized gold nanoparticles for point-of-care determination of acetaminophen levels: preclinical study in an animal model.

The aim of this study is the accurate and rapid detection of acetaminophen (AP) for point-of-care (POC) clinical diagnosis. Acetaminophen overdose causes acute liver failure and currently there is a lack of rapid quantitative detection methods for this drug in the emergency room. Here, low-frequency sonication (20 kHz) in the presence of phosphomolybdic acid (PMo) was used to reduce Au to Au and stabilize the resulting spherical Au nanoparticles (herein AuNPs).
