Schematic representation of target detection by multiplexed nano-flares. The multiplexed nano-flares bind different target nucleic acids (shown in red and green), displacing the corresponding flare. Once the flare is released, the fluorophore is no longer quenched by the gold surface, and an increase in fluorescence can be measured. By using two different fluorophores, the ratio of each target can be determined in cells.
