  Rapid Nanoprobe Signal Enhancement by In Situ Gold Nanoparticle Synthesis Jorge T. Dias¹, Gustav Svedberg¹, Mats Nystrand², Helene Andersson-Svahn¹, Jesper Gantelius^{1 1}Division of Proteomics and Nanobiotechnology, Science for Life Laboratory, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, ²Global Research and Development, Thermo Fisher Scientific IDD In this work, a protocol for signal enhancement of nanoprobe-based biosensing is presented. The protocol is based on the reduction of chloroauric acid onto the surface of existing nanoprobes that consist of gold, silver, silica or iron-oxide nanoparticles.
