Nucleic acid amplification is now a standardized analytical technique,allowing precise and rapid determination of the presence of a determinedDNA/RNA sequence. Moreover, some sophisticated equipment allows theexquisite quantification of the number of copies originally presented in asample; many different protocols, enzymes, labels, and equipment havebeen developed over time, allowing high throughput and automatization.In the same way, modern nanotechnology has been developed over several decades, and now almost any laboratory can synthesize and characterizenanoparticles of different materials and tune size and shape. We believethere is then an opportunity to merge both already mature technologicalareas and find new and exciting applications to improve the analyticalperformance, lower the per-analysis cost, and make the whole process(from reagents elaboration to disposal) more environmentally friendly.Here we explore some of the possibilities for nanoscience and nucleicacid amplification to come together to obtain better analytical systems.
