Summary:
There have been an enormous interest in new amplification-free detection methods. A tremendous progress has been made in fluorescence based optical detection of biomolecules, which here resulted in the synthesis of novel ultra bright fluorescent nanoparticles attachable to target-specific DNA probes.
