Glycan arrays that can detect and distinguish between various sub-types and strains of influenza virus are provided. Methods for using the glycan arrays with assays using nanoparticle amplification technique are disclosed. Sandwich assays using gold nanoparticles conjugated to phage particles comprising influenza virus-specific antibodies for detecting multiple serotypes using a single reaction are provided. Plurality of glycans directed to specific target HA of influenza virus comprises the array. Detector molecules comprising noble metals conjugated to (a) phage display particles expressing antibodies against hemagglutinin and (b) neuraminidase binding agents are disclosed.
