Label-free (fluorescence-free) sensing of a single DNA molecule on DNA origami using a plasmon-enhanced WGM sensor by Ghamari Shahin, Chiarelli Germán, Kołątaj Karol, Subramanian Sivaraman, Acuna Guillermo P., Vollmer Frank

“…The integration of DNA origami structures with opto-plasmonic whispering gallery mode (WGM) sensors offers a significant advancement in label-free biosensing, overcoming the limitations of traditional fluorescence-based techniques, and providing enhanced sensitivity and specificity for detecting DNA hybridization events. In this study, DNA origami acts as a scaffold for the precise assembly of plasmonic dimers, composed of gold nanorods (AuNRs), which amplify detection sensitivity by generating strong near-field enhancements in the nanogap between the nanorods. …”
