HANDHELD NUCLEIC ACID-BASED ASSAY FOR RAPID IDENTIFICATION

摘要

A method for identifying a target organism includes extracting a nucleic acid from a sample to form an extracted nucleic acid, amplifying the extracted nucleic acid to form a nucleic acid amplicon, tagging the nucleic acid amplicon with a capture probe and a detector probe to form a detector probe-nucleic acid amplicon-capture probe complex, and performing a detection assay on the detector probe-nucleic acid amplicon-capture probe complex to identify whether the target organism is present in the sample.
