SWCNT-based FET device and FND-based immunosensor for MTB detection. (A) Schematic representation of SWCNTs modified by EDC/NHS and connected to Ab85B.

(B) Schematic representation of ESAT6 (MTB critical virulence factor) detection by competitive spin-enhanced lateral flow immunoassay. Magnetically modulated fluorescence allows background-free detection. ESAT6 in the sample and test strip compete for the few Ab binding sites on the FND to accomplish competitive detection. Movement of the strip is indicated by a black arrow.
