1. A method of detecting a target nucleic acid comprising:

  • a) hybridizing a single-stranded target nucleic acid to a capture sequence probe and a signal sequence probe to form double-stranded hybrids between said probes and the target nucleic acid, wherein the capture sequence probe and the signal sequence probe are capable of hybridizing to non-overlapping regions within the target nucleic acid and not being capable of hybridizing to each other;

    b) adding a blocker probe to the hybridization reaction, wherein said blocker probe hybridizes to excess non-hybridized capture sequence probes;

    c) capturing the hybrid to form a bound hybrid; and

    d) detecting the bound hybrid.
