METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING NUCLEIC ACIDS BY ELECTRO-SPRAY MASS SPECTROMETRY

摘要

The invention relates to a method for determining a nucleotide sequence in a nucleic acid molecule by means of predetermined probes of different masses, using electro-spray mass spectrometry. The inventive method enables simultaneous characterisation of a plurality of unknown nucleic acid molecules by means of a set of various probes. The invention also relates to a kit containing the probes and/or a probe carrier, optionally with nucleic acid molecules bonded thereto.
