Article Synopsis
- Sepsis is an infection response that often lacks rapid diagnostic tools in primary care, leading to delays in detection.
- Lateral flow devices (LFDs) could improve point-of-care sepsis detection but need better sensitivity; researchers tested larger selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) against standard gold nanoparticles (AuNPs).
- Results showed that 150-310 nm SeNPs achieved a lower limit of detection for interleukin-6 (IL-6) than the 40 nm AuNPs, indicating that larger SeNPs could offer a more sensitive alternative for sepsis diagnostics.
