Microbial Diagnosis by Nucleic Acid Sandwich Hybridization

      This paper is only available as a PDF. To read, Please Download here.
      Sandwich hybridization is a three-component hybridization test in which the specimen is kept in solution. Therefore, crude specimens can be tested without tedious pretreatments. No background problems are encountered and the results are obtained as numeric values.
