Original Abstract Submitted
An amplification reaction chamber and a method for nucleic acid (NA) amplification in a gene analysis system are provided. The amplification reaction chamber includes an interior surface within which an NA amplification reaction is performed. The amplification reaction chamber also includes a multi-layered nanostructure coating conformally applied to at least a portion of the interior surface and including sub-micrometer nanostructures that enhance fluorescence in the NA amplification reaction based on at least one of plasmonic material of which the sub-micrometer nanostructures are made and geometric dimensions of the sub-micrometer nanostructures.
