Abstract
A method is provided for detecting a target nucleic acid analyte in a sample. The method involves preparing an immobilized capture oligonucleotide that is complementary to the target analyte using a magnetic cycling method, incubating the sample with the immobilized capture oligonucleotide to capture the target analyte thereby forming a capture oligonucleotide-analyte complex, and detecting the presence of the capture oligonucleotide-analyte complex.
