    Microbial separation from a complex matrix by a hand-held microfluidic device
    (Chemical Communications (Cambridge, England), 2017) Singh, Renu; Brockgreitens, John; Saiapina, Olga; Wu, Yan; Abbas, Abdennour
    Through a simple chemical activation of biomolecules present in the outer structures of microbial cells, microorganisms can be rapidly isolated on gold-coated surfaces in a microfluidic device with over 99% capture efficiency. Bacterial and fungal cells can be selectively captured, concentrated and retrieved for further analysis.

    Naked-eye visualization of nucleic acid amplicons using hierarchical nanoassembly
    (Analytical Methods, 2023-08) Novi, Vinni Thekkudan; Abbas, Abdennour
    This study reports the development of a rapid visualization method for DNA amplicons. Oligonucleotide-coated gold nanoparticles hierarchically assemble on DNA networks to form globular nanostructures, which precipitate into a distinct visible red pellet. This aims to overcome challenges associated with nanoparticle aggregation and dye-based colorimetric detection in LAMP assays.
