Abstract: Kits for detecting analyte polynucleotides and an internal control in a sample. Included in the kit are an internal control polynucleotide and amplification reagents to co-amplify a first analyte polynucleotide and the internal control. Also included are first and second hybridization probes, each having a label indistinguishable from the other. The probes are respectively capable of hybridizing with a first analyte amplicon and an internal control amplicon. The first and second labels are indistinguishable homogeneous labels.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for detecting analyte in a reaction mixture comprising an internal control. The invention is illustrated using amplification and detection of nucleic acids, where the amplification reaction comprises an exogenous internal control. Magnitude of the detection signal serves as the variable for identifying invalid trials, identifying valid trials that are negative for analyte, and identifying trials that are positive for analyte. Detection of a signal indicating probe hybridization can be used for assigning the presence or absence of analyte nucleic acid in validated reactions using only a single detectable label, and without distinguishing the proportion of signal contributed by internal control probe binding, and analyte probe binding.
