A microfluidic device for detecting a target nucleic acid sequence in a sample, the microfluidic device having a sample inlet for receiving the sample, probes with a nucleic acid sequence complementary to the target nucleic acid sequence for forming probe-target hybrids, and an electrochemiluminescent (ECL) luminophore, and, electrodes for generating an excited state in the ECL luminophore in which the ECL luminophore emits photons of light, wherein, the sample inlet draws the sample along a fluid flow-path leading to the probes by capillary action.
