We demonstrate an approach that utilizes DNA-functionalized gold nanorods (AuNRs) in an
indirect competitive assay format to increase the spectra shift in localized surface plasmon …

Heat generation and its impact on DNA transport in the vicinity of an optofluidic silicon
photonic crystal resonator are studied theoretically and experimentally. The temperature rise is …

In this paper, we developed a low-cost and easy-to-fabricate hydrogel-based localized
surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) substrate for sensitive, consistent, specific, and time-lapse …

We developed a method based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and a
sample pretreatment process for rapid, sensitive, reproducible, multiplexed, and low-cost …

Optical tweezers have become powerful tools to manipulate biomolecular systems, but are
increasingly difficult to use when the size of the molecules is <1 μm. Many important …
