1. A method, comprising:

  • (a) providing;

    an amount of a reporter compound;

    a first binding member being configured to bind an anchor group of a capture molecule;

    a second binding member capable of capturing the reporter compound;

    an amount of a target nucleic acid capable of forming complexes with the reporter compound, the forming of complexes with the reporter compound inhibiting capturing of the reporter compound by the second binding member; and

    an amount of capture molecules wherein each capture molecule comprises a binding portion specific to a region of the target nucleic acid and an anchor group;

    (b) forming complexes each comprising the target nucleic acid and the capture molecule;

    (c) contacting the complexes with the first binding member to bind the complexes to the first binding member(d) releasing at least a subset of the amount of target nucleic acid from the first binding member;

    (e) forming complexes of a subset of the amount of reporter compound with at least a subset of the amount of target nucleic acid;

    (f) capturing a remaining subset of the amount of reporter compound not in complex with the target nucleic acid on the second binding member;

    (g) determining a value indicative of the amount of reporter compound captured on the second binding member; and

    (h) determining a value indicative of the amount of target nucleic acid based on the value indicative of the amount of reporter compound captured on the second binding member; and

    (i) wherein the value indicative of the amount of reporter compound captured on the second binding member is determined before forming complexes of the subset of the amount of reporter compound with at least the subset of the amount of target nucleic acid.
