Abstract
A system featuring a substrate and a multiplicity of nanostructures arranged on the substrate is provided. At least one portion of the nanostructures feature a capturing moiety covalently attached to a surface thereof and at least another portion of the nanostructures, which can be the same or different from the first portion, feature a light-activatable moiety covalently attached to a surface thereof. The capturing moiety is such that selectively interacts with an analyte, and the light-activatable moiety generates, upon exposure to light, a reactive moiety that interferes with an interaction of the capturing moiety and the analyte. Further provided are systems featuring a substrate and a multiplicity of nanostructures aligned generally vertically to the substrate, at least a portion of these nanostructures being branched nanostructures. Uses of the systems in extracting, and optionally identifying, the analyte from a sample are also provided.
