Abstract:
A method of detecting a nucleic acid which comprises bringing a solid carrier suspected to carry or contain a nucleic acid into contact with a polyamine to which a label capable of generating a detectable signal or a precursor thereof is bound, to form a complex between said nucleic acid and said polyamine, said precursor converting into said label, if used, removing the polyamine which has not formed any complex before or after the conversion of said precursor and then detecting said label.
