<p>The present invention is directed to a kit for the amplification and detection of at least one specific nucleic acid sequence in a sample, which kit comprises in packaged form, a multicontainer unit comprising: (a) primer for each different specific nucleic acid sequence being amplified and detected, selected so as to provide a primer substantially complementary to each strand of each specific sequence such that the extension product synthesized from one primer, when it is separated from its complement, serves as a template for synthesis of an extension product of the other primer; (b) means for synthesizing primer extension products; and (c) means for detecting the amplified sequence or sequences.</p> |
