Abstract

A method for detecting the presence of a nucleic acid analyte in a test sample is provided in which a test sample is contacted with a test strip of a chromatographic bibulous porous material which is capable of moving the test sample laterally along the test strip by capillary migration to ultimate capture by a moiety in a specific capture zone.
