Abstract
Modern fluorescence detection technology plays an important role in the current bioanalysis and clinical detection with merits of the high sensitivity and accuracy. The technology of nucleic acids amplification opens up avenues to establish sensitive fluorescence detection technology. In this chapter, we described the construction of the newly developed fluorescent nano-biosensors based on nucleic acid amplification strategy and provided insightful views on: (1) fluorescence dyes and nanomaterials to develop sensitive and feasible nucleic acid amplification-based fluorescence detection methods; (2) the rational design and application of fluorescence biosensor based on nucleic acid amplification strategies; (3) fluorescence collection and commercial instruments based on nucleic acid amplification strategies.
