Abstract
A novel sensor has been designed and developed that reports the presence of specific nucleic acids in solutions, based on photon upconverting particles. The significantly high signal-to-noise ratio of photon upconverting particles leads to high sensitivity of the sensor. The sensor does not suffer from photobleaching. It also displays high specificity and self-calibrating capability. The results demonstrate great potential of such nanomaterials as oligonucleotide sensors.
