Abstract

A method of identifying target analytes in a sample, particularly a biological sample, comprising the steps of putting a plurality of target analytes, bound to a common luminescent marker, in contact with a plurality of molecular probes immobilized on a support, each of said molecular probes being capable of complementary binding to a respective target analyte, if said target analyte is present in the sample, providing to said support an excitation radiation and detecting an emission radiation coming from said support as a result of at least one complementary binding event, characterized by the fact that:
