The development of a rapid, simple, inexpensive, and sensitive nucleic acid assay is critical in ultrafast diagnostic systems to prevent the rapid spread of novel infectious agents. However, current representative diagnostic methods, such as the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), are bulky, expensive, complex, and time-consuming. The plasmonic photothermal effect of plasmonic materials is widely used in biological applications because of excellent properties, such as strong optical properties and enhanced local electromagnetic field. PCR methods using plasmonic nanostructures are used to overcome the limitations of conventional PCR. Therefore, plasmonic photothermal-based PCR exhibit a rapid ramping rate, ultrafast amplification, high sensitivity, cost-effectiveness, and compactness, which can be used as a point-of-care device in situ. This study reviewed the mechanisms of plasmonic PCR and various materials, such as organic, inorganic, and hybrid materials, used in PCR. Furthermore, the properties, light source, amplification efficiency, and monitoring method of classified plasmonic materials were compared. This review introduced the disease diagnosis application using plasmonic PCR and evaluated the prospect of potential future applications as next-generation PCR.
