Abstract:
The present invention was made to provide novel methods for detecting DNA and devices therefor. Specifically, the present invention is a method of detecting DNA including the steps of: adding, to an oil, a fluorescently-labeled probe, a DNA intercalator, and a DNA solution containing a target DNA to produce droplets; performing PCR on the droplets; and measuring fluorescence from the fluorescently-labeled probe and fluorescence from the DNA intercalator, wherein the DNA solution has a concentration at which each droplet is produced so as to contain one or less target DNA molecule. In addition, the present invention is a DNA detection device including a droplet production unit, a thermal cycler unit, and a fluorescence detection unit which perform these steps.

Claim (Index 10):
The DNA detection device according to  claim 8 , wherein the fluorescently-labeled probe has a fluorescent dye and a quencher for the fluorescent dye.
