METHOD FOR DETECTING NUCLEIC ACID, METHOD FOR OPTICALLY OBSERVING SAMPLE, AND PHOSPHOR

摘要

[Problem] To provide a method capable of detecting a nucleic acid with which a nucleic acid can be simply detected particularly without requiring a complicated operation such as mixing of a liquid or washing in a microscale flow path or the like. [Solution] Provided is a method for detecting a nucleic acid, comprising a step of bringing a sample containing a nucleic acid into contact with copper and a step of detecting fluorescence emitted from the sample. According to the method for detecting a nucleic acid, merely by bringing a sample containing a nucleic acid into contact with copper, fluorescence derived from a complex between the nucleic acid and copper can be simply detected.
