Abstract
The present invention relates to systems and methods using microwave accelerated surface plasmonics for the detection of target species. The system has a metallic surface and the system is exposed to microwave energy for increasing detection time and/or the reaction kinetics of the target species and other interacting participants in the system so that plasmonic emissions from the metallic surface alone or coupled with emissions from a luminescing entity are detected.
