Abstract Conventional diagnosis procedures for identifying biomarker such as microbiological test, immunological test, biochemical processes required long time duration, labour-intensive instruments, exorbitant costs and caused false results. Silver nanoshell enhancement on the gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) surface is usually performed in immunoassay platform to intensify the colorimetric signal for the detection of biomarkers but lack of selectivity and sensitivity limit its application as a biodetection label. Herein, a straightforward and highly specific dot-blot immunoassay was successfully developed to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis secretory antigen, CFP-10, based on copper nanoshell formation on the AuNPs surface. The reduction capacity of sodium L-ascorbate to the Cu-PEI complex can form the copper nanoshell on the AuNPs surface, results in the double amplification of the optical signals than that of conventional silver nanoshell. For biomarker diagnostics, this strategy was applied to detect CFP-10 tuberculosis antigen, and the magnified signals can be strongly detectable with naked-eye or a smartphone camera with the detection limit as low as 8 pg/mL. A simple copper enhancing bioassay can identify the CFP-10 antigen in clinical urine sample with high sensitivity, specificity, low cost as well as minimization of complicated procedures. This facile and sensitive bioassay exhibits great application potential for highly reliable point-of-care detection of other biomarkers in biomedical field or life science
