Abstract

A composition includes a first probe, a first initiator component bonded to the first probe, a second probe, and a second initiator component bonded to the second probe. The first probe and the second probe are capable of binding to a single analyte, and the first initiator component and the second initiator component are capable of forming an initiator when present in proximity to each other and when the first probe and the second probe are bonded to the analyte. An associated kit, device, and method are provided.
