We report a novel platform for label-free nucleic acid detection using isothermal amplification and light-up aptamer probes. This assay converts double-stranded amplicons into single-stranded targets to enable sequence-specific hybridization with split dapoxyl aptamer probes, offering attomolar sensitivity and single-base specificity.
