摘要

A plasmonic heating method for the polymerase chain reaction is demonstrated by the amplification of a section of the human androgen receptor gene. The thermocycler has a simple low-cost design, demonstrates excellent temperature stability and represents the first practical demonstration of plasmonic thermocycling.
