Abstract
Methods are disclosed for detecting the presence of at least two predetermined known materials in a test sample. At least one of the predetermined known materials is a control material. The test sample is introduced into a test column which has a snare for each predetermined known material. Each snare has a capture material specific to the associated predetermined known material, and the capture material will bind with the associated predetermined known material to form a bound material. The test column is then washed to remove any materials which have not been bound to the capture materials. Finally, the presence of bound materials is detected on each of the snares. The method is useful for pathogens, DNA and RNA.
