Abstract
Disclosed is a method for detecting the presence or absence of amplified nucleic acid products. The method comprises the addition of hapten-labeled nucleotide or target molecule-labeled nucleotide to an amplification reaction and after the amplification process assaying for the presence of nucleic acid products having incorporated hapten-labeled nucleotide or target molecule-labeled nucleotide. Immobilization and detection of the label is accomplished using an affinity molecule that binds specifically to the hapten or target molecule. Thus, detection of amplified nucleic acid products is direct and does not require hybridization with a labeled specific probe.
