Use of a porous capillary membrane for determining the amount of rolling circle amplification products

摘要

A method of sample analysis is provided. In certain embodiments, the method may comprise: (a) filtering a liquid sample containing rolling circle amplification (RCA) products using a porous capillary membrane, thereby producing an array of the RCA products on the membrane; wherein the sample contains at least a first population of RCA products and a second population of RCA products, wherein the first and second populations of labeled RCA products are distinguishably labeled; and (b) determining the amount of the first labeled population of RCA products and the amount of the second labeled population of RCA products in an area of the membrane.
