摘要

Abstract

Nucleic acid amplification and quantification

via

polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is one of the most sensitive and powerful tools for clinical laboratories

precision medicine

personalized medicine

agricultural science

forensic science and environmental science. Ultrafast multiplex PCR

characterized by low power consumption

compact size and simple operation

is ideal for timely diagnosis at the point-of-care (POC). Although several fast/ultrafast PCR methods have been proposed

the use of a simple and robust PCR thermal cycler remains challenging for POC testing. Here

we present an ultrafast photonic PCR method using plasmonic photothermal light-to-heat conversion

via

photon–electron–phonon coupling. We demonstrate an efficient photonic heat converter using a thin gold (Au) film due to its plasmon-assisted high optical absorption (approximately 65% at 450 nm

the peak wavelength of heat source light-emitting diodes (LEDs)). The plasmon-excited Au film is capable of rapidly heating the surrounding solution to over 150 ℃ within 3 min. Using this method

ultrafast thermal cycling (30 cycles; heating and cooling rate of 12.79±0.93 ℃ s

−1

and 6.6±0.29 ℃ s

−1

respectively) from 55 ℃ (temperature of annealing) to 95 ℃ (temperature of denaturation) is accomplished within 5 min. Using photonic PCR thermal cycles

we demonstrate here successful nucleic acid (λ-DNA) amplification. Our simple

robust and low cost approach to ultrafast PCR using an efficient photonic-based heating procedure could be generally integrated into a variety of devices or procedures

including on-chip thermal lysis and heating for isothermal amplifications.
