A real-time colorimetric assay for label-free detection of microRNAs down to sub-femtomolar levels

Abstract

A real-time colorimetric assay utilizing gold nanoparticle networks and a duplex-specific nuclease (DSN) for label-free detection of microRNAs is proposed. Excellent sensitivity and selectivity were accomplished through the engagement of the DSN and a cumulative signal amplification process.
