Title: Method for analyzing nucleic acids by means of a substrate having a microchannel structure containing immobilized nucleic acid probes

Abstract

A method and apparatus for analyzing nucleic acids includes immobilizing nucleic probes at specific sites within a microchannel structure and moving target nucleic acids into proximity to the probes in order to allow hybridization and fluorescence detection of specific target sequences.
