Towards Solid-Phase Nucleic Acid Hybridization Assays on a Paper-Based Platform and Within Channel Microfluidics Using Quantum Dots as Donors in Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer

The work described herein has explored solid-phase transduction of nucleic acid hybridization on platforms composed of paper substrates, and also glass surfaces within glass/polydimethylsiloxane microfluidic channels. (Abstract shortened by UMI.).
