TY  - PAT
AB - The present invention relates to the detection of molecules of a target type in a sample. A method of detecting molecules of a target type in a sample comprises providing an aptamer-nucleic acid duplex, contacting the sample with the aptamer-nucleic acid duplex, wherein the aptamer is capable of selectively dissociating from the nucleic acid to selectively bind to a molecule of the target type in the sample, amplifying any dissociated nucleic acid and detecting any amplified nucleic acid. The method further comprises using the detected result to indicate the presence of molecules of the target type and/or quantify an amount of molecules of the target type. Also provided is a system for detecting molecules of a target type in a sample.
