1. An apparatus for performing a sensing application, said apparatus comprising:

  • a reservoir to contain a solution;

    a dispenser to dispense the solution from the reservoir;

    a substrate having a plurality of nano-fingers positioned to receive the dispensed solution, wherein the plurality of nano-fingers are flexible, such that the plurality of nano-fingers are configurable with respect to each other;

    an illumination source to illuminate the received solution, an analyte introduced around the plurality of nano-fingers, and the plurality of nano-fingers, wherein light is to be emitted from the analyte in response to being illuminated;

    a detector to detect the light emitted from the analytea second reservoir to contain a second solution; and

    a second dispenser to dispense the second solution from the reservoir onto a second subset of the plurality of nano-fingers that differs from a subset of the plurality of nano-fingers onto which the dispenser is to dispense the solution from the reservoir, wherein the illumination source is to further illuminate the dispensed second solution and wherein the detector is to detect light emitted from an analyte introduced around the second subset of the plurality of nano-fingers.
