Spherical gold nanoparticles are the most commonly used marker in lateral flow assays. However, the widespread practice of using identical coloration for the test and control zones of test strips can lead to erroneous interpretations of the assay's results. We propose an immunochromatographic test strip with lines of different colors. For this purpose, gold nanoparticles of different shapes were used, namely blue nanoflowers in the test zone and red gold nanospheres in the control zone. A detailed synthesis procedure for nanoparticles and their conjugates is considered and design parameters for optimal results are described. For the first time, nanoparticles of different shapes have been combined in the test strip with indirect labeling of specific antibodies (via their interaction with labeled secondary antibodies). Using the T-2 toxin (T2T) as an example, an instrumental detection limit of 30 pg/ml and a working range 0.06–0.9 ng/mL were achieved in an analysis of water-organic corn extracts.
