12. A method for detecting an respiratory syncytial virus within a sample, wherein said method comprises:
-
(a) performing a nucleic acid amplification reaction using said sample as a source of template and a diagnostic device, wherein said device comprises a housing having a plurality of locations, wherein each of said locations contains a primer system, wherein the primers of each primer system are between 18 and 28 nucleotides in length and have a theoretical melting temperature between 58°
C. and 62°
C., wherein said device is capable of producing an amplification product diagnostic for an respiratory syncytial virus, and wherein each amplification product, when produced, is between 100 and 400 nucleotides in length, and(b) determining which locations of said device contain a primer system that resulted in the formation of amplification product, thereby detecting an respiratory syncytial virus. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
