<p>A nucleic acid detection method wherein (a) a large nucleic acid probe, in particular one having more than 100 nucleotides, is hybridised in a solution, said probe being capable of hybridising with a predetermined RNA or DNA in a nucleic acid-containing sample, and bearing detection elements and first capture elements on a solid medium; (b) the unhybridised nucleotide sequences in the sample are decomposed using an enzyme suitable for decomposing unhybridised nucleic acids; (c) the hybrids produced in (b) are captured by contacting them with a solid medium coated with second capture elements interacting with said first capture elements of said probe; and (d) the hybrids or probes are detected after the hybrids have been denatured using said detection elements.</p> |
