    • The present invention concerns the field of diagnostic testing to confirm the presence of target pathogens in a test sample, typically obtained from a human or animal. The test has particular application in testing for viruses, but could include cancer cells or other particulate pathogens, including bacteria. The disclosure provides a method for facilitating the detection of target pathogen particles in a test sample, the method comprising: providing one or more supports defining a support surface, the support surface being provided with a coating of a first set of macromolecular assemblies, the assemblies each being capable of selectively binding with the target pathogen particles, providing a second set of macromolecular assemblies, the assemblies also each being capable of binding selectively with the target pathogen particles, and wherein each of the second set of macromolecular assemblies is provided with at least one fluorophore moiety, obtaining or providing the test sample to be assayed for the presence of the target pathogen therein, exposing the macromolecular assemblies to the test sample so that target pathogen particles present in the test sample bind to the macromolecular assemblies, thereby producing a multitude of target pathogen particles distributed over and anchored to said support surface by members of the first set of macromolecular assemblies, with a plurality of fluorophore moieties being bound to each pathogen particle by members of the second set of macromolecular assemblies, so as to produce a fluorophore coating on anchored pathogen particles on the support. The invention provides assemblies of pathogen particles produced by this method. The methods may include a detection step for detecting fluorescence from bound fluorophores.
