ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a device, method and kit for detecting any genetic material containing moieties. The present invention enables identification of known or unknown virions or bacteria contained in a fluid therein, such as virions in a blood sample. It also provides for an amenable and highly automatable device for massed screenings and the discovery of sequence variants of known virions, previously undetected virions, and other genetic material containing moieties. In one embodiment, the present invention utilizes at least one primer for analysis.
