Dengue virus, a Flaviviridae family member, has emerged as a major worldwide health concern, making its early diagnosis imperative. Lateral flow immunoassays have been widely employed for point-of-care diagnosis of dengue because of their rapid naked eye readouts, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness. However, they entail a drawback of low sensitivity, limiting their usage in clinical applications. Herein, we report a novel lateral flow immunoassay for detection of dengue leveraging on the benefits of gold decorated graphene oxide sheets as detection labels and a tapered nitrocellulose membrane. The developed assay allows for rapid (10 min) and sensitive detection of dengue NS1 with a detection limit of 4.9 ng mL−1, ∼11-fold improvement over the previously reported values. Additionally, the clinical application of the developed assay has been demonstrated by testing it for dengue virus spiked in human serum. The reported lateral flow immunoassay shows significant promise for early and rapid detection of several target diseases.
