A method for sequentially detecting multiple target nucleic acid fragments
in a sample includes steps of adding a sample into a column having a test
snare which has thereon two or more single strand capture DNA sequences;
wherein each capture sequence binds specifically with one target nucleic
acid fragment, and forms a double strand segment; washing out unbound
target nucleic acid fragment; adding a first DNA probe, which has thereon
a chemical label, to attach specifically to a probe binding site of the
first target nucleic acid fragment; washing out unbound first probe;
adding a triggering solution to trigger the chemical label; and detecting
signals on the test snare for determining the first target nucleic acid
fragment; subsequently, adding a second DNA probe to bind specifically to
the second target nucleic acid fragment; washing, triggering and
detecting signals for determining the second target nucleic acid fragment
in the same manner.
