Abstract
- A paper-based colorimetric assay for the determination of bilirubin has been developed. The method is based on the in-situ reduction of chloroauric acid to form gold nanoparticles. A chromatographic paper was patterned using a wax printer. Chloroauric acid was drop-cast onto the reagent zone. In the presence of bilirubin, gold(III) ions are reduced and form gold nanoparticles. This leads to a color change from yellow to purple. The intensity of the purple color (peak at 530 nm) increases with bilirubin concentration in the 5.0 to 1000 mg L <superscript>-1</superscript> range. The detection limit is 1.0 mg L <superscript>-1</superscript> . For the quantification of bilirubin, images were captured using a digital camera, and data were processed with the help of machine learning-based supervised prediction using Random Forest classification. The method was applied to the determination of bilirubin in urine samples. The spiked urine samples exhibit more than 95% recovery. Graphical abstractSchematic representation of the paper-based colorimetric assay for the detection of bilirubin based on the in-situ formation of gold nanoparticles. A color band is generated for visual interpretation and used for the testing of bilirubin in urine.
