Abstract:
Time-resolved fluorometry was used for the detection of DNA probes labeled directly with europium (Eu3+) chelate. The sensitivity of this nonisotopic hybridization assay was 100 pg of homologous DNA. Equivalent results with reference tests were obtained in the detection of adenoviruses in clinical specimens.
