Abstract

Isothermal rolling circle amplification (RCA) is used to detect nucleic and non-nucleic acid biomarkers with high sensitivity. Immuno-RCA, the specific detection of proteins via antigen–antibody recognition, has been miniaturized for microfluidic platforms to reduce reagent and sample consumption, accelerate reaction kinetics, and enhance the sensitivity and specificity of detection.
