Abstract
Nanodiamond particles and related devices and methods, such as nanodiamond particles for the detection and/or quantification of analytes, are generally described. In some embodiments, the device comprises a plurality of nanodiamond particles and a species bound to the nanodiamond particles. In certain embodiments, the plurality of nanodiamond particles may be exposed to a sample suspected of containing an analyte. In some cases, the analyte may bind to the species such that the presence of the analyte in the sample may be detected. In some embodiments, the devices, systems, and methods described herein are useful for the detection of an analyte in a sample obtained from a subject for, for example, diagnostic purposes. In some cases, the systems, devices, and methods described herein may be useful for diagnosing, prevent, treating, and/or managing a disease or bodily condition. In an exemplary embodiment, such systems, devices, and methods described herein may be useful for detecting and/or quantifying the presence of a virus (e.g., ebola) in a subject and/or a sample obtained from the subject.
