Molecular assay reagents consising of a nucleic acid probe with a DNA chemical structure. DNA probes may be radioactively or nonradioactively (both enzymatic and nonenzymatic) labeled. DNA probes are used in tests to obtain information about the genetic characteristics of a sample; these procedures are generically known as nucleic acid assays and include hybridization assays, amplification methods (e.g., polymerase chain reaction), and electrophoretic separation.
