However, conventional approaches for DNA assay often suffer from cumbersome procedures, long analysis time and insufficient sensitivity. Recently, single-particle detection technology has emerged as a powerful tool in the biosensing area due to its significant advantages of ultrahigh sensitivity, low sample-consumption and rapid analysis time. Especially, the introduction of novel nanomaterials has greatly promoted the development of single-particle detection and its applications for DNA sensing. In this review, we summarize the recent advance in single-particle detection strategies for DNA sensing, and focus mainly on metallic nanoparticle-and semiconductor quantum dot-based single-particle detection. We highlight the emerging trends in this field as well.展开更多
