Hybridization chain reactions on silica coated Qbeads for the colorimetric detection of multiplex microRNAs

Chem Commun (Camb). 2017 May 2;53(36):4954-4957. doi: 10.1039/c7cc00462a.

Abstract

A robust Qbead platform that integrated with target-binding, hybridization chain reaction and staining was developed for the direct multiplexed detection of endogenous miRNAs by amplified Qbead-colour change.
