    Abstract: The present disclosure provides nanoparticle transducers and methods of use thereof for the detection of analyte concentrations in a fluid. Nanoparticle transducers can comprise a nanoparticle, such as a Pdot, coupled to an enzyme that catalyzes a reaction with the analyte. The nanoparticle transducers further comprise chromophores that emit fluorescence that varies as a function of the concentration of one of the elements of the reaction. The nanoparticle transducer thus changes fluorescence as the analyte concentration changes, transforming analyte concentration values into fluorescence intensities. The measurement of these intensities provides a measurement of the analyte concentration. The nanoparticle transducers are biocompatible, allowing for use in vivo, for the monitoring of analyte blood concentrations such as blood glucose concentrations.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, compositions and kits are provided for the analysis of target molecules using chromophoric polymer dots conjugated to biomolecules. The use of chromophoric polymer dots improves detection sensitivity and stability when compared with existing techniques. In some aspects, methods, systems, and kits are provided for detecting a target protein using chromophoric polymer dots conjugated to biomolecules in a Western blot analysis. Related methods, systems, compositions and kits are also provided.
