20. QY was measured using 9,10-diphenylanthracene in cyclohexane as a reference. QY of the composite in water could not be determined due to the interference of light scattering from aggregated particles in water.
21. The composite was passed through a commercially available chamber (Microfluidizer M-110S, Microfluidics, Newton, MA) at 23,000 psi. The system utilizes high-pressure streams that collide at ultrahigh velocities in precisely defined microchannels.
22. Total weight fraction of P1 was estimated based on elemental analysis results (% C: 7.12, H: 1.70, N: 2.29, and Si: 41.22). As a control, we fabricated a aminosilane/silica material with no P1. Elemental analysis indicated relatively low carbon (5.35%) and nitrogen (1.70%) content compared to the original P1/silica composite. Our calculated weight fraction of aminosilane based on the amount of nitrogen in the elemental analysis was 8.9-10.7 wt%. The calculated amount of aminosilane in the control material was well in accordance with the aminosilane fraction of the P1/silica composite (8.5-11.5 wt%).

27. We adjusted the probe density by transferring maleimide functionalized complex into a mixed solution of thiol-modified oligonucleotide: random 12-mers and specific 29-mers (1:1 molar concentration). Fast hybridization at the composites with adjusted probe density results in increased fluorescence quenching within the hybridization time. Details on the probe density effect on the quenching efficiency will be published soon.
