A system for simple nucleic acid analysis is described in which the amplification space contains at least a part of the binding space. An additional improvement is achieved by the design of the binding or/and amplification space which is optionally surrounded by a heatable metal layer.

System for simple nucleic acid analysis

The present invention concerns a method for the detection of nucleic acids on an analytical element which contains a sample application zone and a detection zone, the analytical element enabling liquid transport from the sample application zone to the detection zone, wherein a sample is applied to the sample application zone of the analytical element and the nucleic acids contained in the sample are denatured and can be detected qualitatively in the detection zone by hybridization with a detection probe and also quantitatively, preferably by means of marker groups. In addition new analytical elements and reagent kits for the detection of nucleic acids are provided.
