The assay format consists of a solution hybridization of at least two labelled oligonucleotide probes one of which is specific to a region of a Campylobacter rRNA, and then the capture of the resulting hybrid complex on a solid support for subsequent detection and quantitation.

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 19, 1990. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended October 19, 2010.

- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
