Abstract: A method for identifying or quantifying an organism by a detecting its nucleotide sequence among at least 4 other homologous sequences comprising amplifying nucleic acids from the organism to generate target nucleotide sequences to be detected; contacting the target nucleotide sequences with single stranded capture nucleotide sequences bound by a single predetermined link to an insoluble solid support and discriminating the binding of a target nucleotide sequence specific of an organism with a signal resulting from a hybridization by complementary base pairing between the target nucleotide sequence and its corresponding capture nucleotide sequence is disclosed. The capture nucleotide sequence is bound to the insoluble solid support at a specific location on an array having a density of at least 4 different bound single stranded capture nucleotide sequences/cm2. The location of the signal on the array allows identification or quantification of the organism.

Abstract: The present invention is related to an identification and/or quantification method of a large number of biological organisms groups at different levels (family, genus, species) or part of those (possibly present in a biological sample) by a detection of their nucleotide sequence.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method conducting real-time PCR. Unlabeled capture molecules of a specific design are immobilized on a solid support, and contacted with amplicons produced in one or more PCR cycles. Detection of amplicons may take place during or between the PCR cycles while the solid support is in fluidic contact with the PCR solution. In an alternate embodiment detection of the amplicons takes place when the solid support is not in fluidic contact with the PCR solution. The method is suitable for the simultaneous detection and quantification of closely homologous target molecules.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for monitoring a real-time quantification of multiple target molecules during their binding on capture molecules of a micro-array. The method comprises the steps of: placing, in a chamber (14), a support (15) having fixed upon its surface a micro-array comprising at least 5 capture molecules (20) being immobilized in specifically localized areas (21) of said support; introducing said labeled target molecules solution (13) into the chamber; incubating said labeled target molecules under stable and controlled temperature conditions to allow the binding between said target and capture molecules; directing an excitation light (2) from a light source (1) on the surface of the micro-array; measuring the electromagnetic light emission (7) from the bound target molecules in response to said excitation light in presence of the solution containing the target molecules wherein the surface of emission for a localized area is comprised between about 0.
