FLUORESCENCE-BASED ADP DETECTION SYSTEM

摘要

A method and kit for detecting a nucleotide, or differentially detecting one nucleotide in a mixture of at least two nucleotides, in a solution comprisin g the steps of adding a chelator to the solution and detecting a signal create d or altered upon the addition of the chelator using a spectroscopic detection system. A lanthanide may also be added to the solution before the detection of a signal. Preferably, the spectroscopic detection system is a fluorescence- based system.
