Successful multiplexing strategies using plasmonic based biosensors. (A) Plasmonic nanowires detected the presence of four miRNA targets using locked nucleic acid capture probes and Cy5 functionalized reporter locked nucleic acid sequences. These optimized nanosensors were used to profile the expression of four miRNAs from RNA isolated from two tissue types.

(B) A novel ultra-low fouling surface plasmon resonance imaging biosensor detected four miRNAs from erythrocyte lysate. A gold nanoparticle signal enhancement strategy was used to improve limits of detection. Clinical utility was shown by analyzing chances in expression profiles of miR-16, 181, 34a, and 125b in ‘normal’ clinical samples and ones with myelodysplastic syndrome.
