Abstract
In this rapid communication we describe an exciting platform technology that promises to fundamentally address two underlying constraints of modern assays and immunoassays, namely sensitivity and rapidity. By combining the use of Metal-enhanced Fluorescence (MEF) with low power microwave heating (Mw), we can significantly increase the sensitivity of surface assays as well as >95% kinetically complete the assay within a few seconds. This technology is subsequently likely to find significant importance in certain clinical assays, such as in the clinical assessment of myoglobin, where both the assay rapidity and sensitivity are paramount for the assessment and treatment of acute myocardial infarction.
