    摘要: A system is provided for carrying out real time fluorescence-based measurements of nucleic acid amplification products. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, an excitation beam is focused into a reaction mixture through a surface, the reaction mixture containing (i) a first fluorescent indicator capable of generating a first fluorescent signal whose intensity is proportional to the amount of an amplification product in the volume of the reaction mixture illuminated by the excitation beam and (ii) a second fluorescent indicator homogeneously distributed throughout the reaction mixture capable of generating a second fluorescent signal proportional to the volume of reaction mixture illuminated by the excitation beam. Preferably, the excitation beam is focused into the reaction mixture by a lens through a portion of a wall of a closed reaction chamber containing the reaction mixture. The same lens is used to collect the first and second fluorescent signals generated by the first and second fluorescent indicators, respectively, in response to the excitation beam. The ratio of the fluorescent intensities of the first and second fluorescent signals provides a stable quantitative indicator of the amount of amplification product synthesized in the course of the amplification reaction.

    摘要: The invention relates to passive internal references for use in quantitating the formation of amplification products in a nucleic amplification reaction. The internal amplification reference molecules of the invention comprise a first and second fluorophore joined together through a backbone connector. The first and second fluorophores are joined on the backbone in a configuration that permits the energy transfer from the first fluorophore to the second fluorophore. The backbone connector is selected so as not to bind to the target nucleic acid sequence under nucleic acid amplification conditions. Preferably, the backbone connector is a polynucleotide. Another aspect of the invention is to provide passive internal reference molecule containing reagent compositions for use in nucleic acid amplification reactions. The compositions comprise the internal amplification reference molecule of the invention and a nucleic acid amplification reaction buffer. The reagent compositions, optionally, include additional components required for nucleic acid amplification reactions. The invention also provides improved methods of measuring the amount of amplification product in nucleic acid amplification reactions employing fluorescer-quencher probe assays, including methods for the real-time measurement of amplification product formation. The methods comprise the step of adding the internal reference molecule of the invention to the amplification reaction mixture. Fluorescence of the second fluorophore on the internal reference may then be measured and used to calculate changes in fluorescence of the fluorophore on a fluorescer-quencher probe.

    摘要: Nucleic acid sequences are detected by a multi-step process, involving labeling sample nucleic acid sequences, duplexing the labeled sample with a probe having a coupling element, immobilizing all of the duplexed probe and target sequence and unduplexed probe, separating specifically immobilized nucleic acid from free and non-specifically immobilized nucleic acid, releasing specifically immobilized nucleic acid, and detecting the presence of the sequence of interest by means of the label. The labeled sequence may be characterized by sizing, e.g. electrophoresis. The method provides for a sensitive and rapid means for accurate detection of sequences of interest in a wide variety of situations.
