title: Surface plasmon resonance imaging for nucleic acid detection.
abstract: Surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRI) is a powerful tool for simple, fast and cheap nucleic acid detection. Great efforts have been made during the last decade with the aim of developing even more sensitive and specific SPRI-based methods to be used for the direct detection of DNA and RNA. Here, after a description of the fundamentals of SPRI, the state of the art of recent platform and assay developments is presented, with special attention given to advances in SPRI signal enhancement procedures.
