Review non-radioactive labelling formats for nucleic acid probe assays and assess their practical utility compared to conventional radioisotope methods.
Surveyed non-isotopic detection systems including colorimetric, chemiluminescent, and fluorescent modalities across various assay architectures such as blotting, in situ hybridization, and microarrays.
Evaluated key probe properties, comparative advantages, and imaging capabilities using standard fluorescence scanners.
Identified that non-radioactive labelling overcomes key limitations of phosphorus-32 probes, including radiological hazards, high waste-disposal expenses, and short reagent half-life.
Showed that fluorescence, chemiluminescence, and colorimetry provide robust, stable detection suitable for high-throughput screening, forensics, and clinical diagnostics.
