A number of specialized miRNA detection strategies have been recently reported, including surface plasmon resonance (SPR), microfluidic technique, next-generation sequencing, laser ablation (LA) inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS), and so on. With a sensitive, rapid, and on-site analysis, SPR is an attractive alternative to conventional techniques in miRNA detection. Referring to small sample volume and rapid detection for POC diagnosis, microfluidic technique is a commendable choice. The possibility of new miRNA discovery is the major advantage of next-generation sequencing. And using LA-ICPMS for miRNA detection makes multiplexed, sensitive, and quantitative analysis possible with the sensitivity comparable to radioactive detection. For all these advantages, it is believed that in the future, these new technologies will emerge as an efficient and alternative tool for daily miRNA analysis.
