Comment on "colorimetric methods using gold nanoparticles for forensic investigations"

This commentary evaluates the clinical and forensic utility of GNP-based colorimetric assays discussed by Anudevi et al., highlighting the absence of validation data, matrix interference analysis, and operational thresholds. Overextensions regarding artificial intelligence integration and visual detection limits were also addressed. We urge caution in translating these assays into field practice without rigorous comparative and statistical validation.Clinical Trial Registration Details/Number: Not applicable, as this study does not report a clinical trial.Research Registry Number: Not applicable.
