The development and innovative application of multi-functional reporter nanoparticles enable advancements in many diagnostics platforms. Here, we describe a new class of composite nanoparticle, magnetic gold nanoshells, which combine rapid magnetic concentration with a distinct plasmonic optical response to overcome complex diagnostic challenges like low analyte concentration and matrix effects. Using prostate-specific antigen (PSA) as a model system in lateral flow assays and other biosensors, we showcase the potential of these novel particles to enhance sensitivity and specificity and drive advancements in diagnostics.
