In this paper, we describe an aptamer-based colorimetric assay (ABCA), which integrates enzyme-loaded microparticles for signal amplification with distance measurement for equipment-free quantitative readout. The distance measurement readout is on the basis of target-induced selective reduction in viscosity of reaction solution. Its utility is well demonstrated with inexpensive, sensitive, and selective detection of adenosine (model analyte) in buffer samples and real samples of human serum and urine with the naked eye. This ABCA method just requires operators to simply count the number of colored distance-relevant marked bars on the calibrated glass microsyringes (testing containers) to provide quantitative results. It thus holds great promise for wide applications particularly in limited-resource settings.
