Abstract
Device, method, and system for nanoparticle capture, tracking, and/or detection. A functional paper-based platform is modified with capture ligands to create binding sites for nanoparticles. According to an embodiment, nanoparticle binding produces visual images of the particle content and distribution on the modified sensing surface, which provides capabilities for both NP sequestration and real-time detection. According to an embodiment the system may be utilized for environmental decontamination, fabrication of personal protective equipment, field monitoring, and epidemiological studies. The availability of inexpensive and easy-to-use quantitative methods can facilitate rapid assessment and measurement of NPs concentration and the level of exposure for large scale toxicological and epidemiological testing.
