Zusammenfassung:This invention consists of methods for the detection of nucleotide-binding compounds in complex fluid mixtures. The invention consists of fixing a target polynucleotide of known sequence to a non-porous support which comprises or is contained within a container. The challenging sample fluid is then introduced in such a way that compounds present in the fluid bind to the target polynucleotide. This binding blocks the hybridization of a second, complementary polynucleotide to which is attached a label comprising a moiety capable of generating a detectable signal. The invention further provides for indirect means of binding the target polynucleotide to the support and of generating the detectable signal.
