Abstract

Methods for electronic perturbation of fluorescence, chemilluminescence and other emissive materials provide for molecular biological analysis. In a preferred method for hybridization analysis of a sample, an electronic stringency control device is used to perform the steps of: providing the sample, a first probe with a fluorescent label and a second probe with a label under hybridization conditions on the electronic stringency control device, forming a hybridization product, subjecting the hybridization product to an electric field force, monitoring the fluorescence from the hybridization product, and analyzing the fluorescent signal. The label preferably serves as a quencher for the fluorescent label. In yet another aspect of this invention, a method for achieving electronic fluorescence perturbation on an electronic stringency control device comprising the steps of: locating a first polynucleotide and a second polynucleotide adjacent the electronic stringency control device, the first polynucleotide and second polynucleotide being complementary over at least a portion of their lengths and forming a hybridization product, the hybridization product having an associated environment…
