The rapid growth ofin vitronucleic acid replication has offered a powerful tool for clinical diagnosis, food safety detection and environmental monitorning. Successful implementation of various isothermal nucleic acid amplification methods enables rapid replication of target sequences without the participant of a thermal cycler. Point-of-need analysis possesses great superiorities in user-friendly, instant results analysis, low manufacturing, and consumable costs. To meet the great challenge of point-of-need analysis, developing simple and rapid visual methods becomes crucial. Submicro- and nanomaterials possess unique surface properties, which enables their rapid response to DNA amplicons. Their unique optical, magnetic, catalytic, and other physical/chemical properties have been frequently employed for the visual detection ofin vitronucleic acid replications. Herein, we aim to review the submicro- and nanomaterials-based visual methods for detection of nucleic acid amplification. The visual methods are classified according to the designing strategies (e.g. LSPR, bridging flocculation, luminescence, catalytic reaction, separation, etc.). The basic principles, merits and drawbacks of each strategy are described. The application in analysis of nucleic acid targets and non-nucleic acid targets are discussed. The main challenges and future research directions are also highlighted in this rapidly emerging field.
