DEVICE AND METHOD FOR EXTRACTING NUCLEIC ACIDS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: molecular biology.

SUBSTANCE: the suggested innovation deals with the fact that nucleic acids should be isolated directly out of the sample without pipetting stage but with the help of interconnected reservoirs being prepared beforehand. The above-mentioned vessels should be applied either separately or being interconnected according to standard microtitrating format. The sample should be mixed with a lyzing buffer and nucleic acids are bound with matrix in closed system including, at least, two interconnected reservoirs. Forced movement of sample's mixture and buffer back and forth from one reservoir into another one for several times through narrow passage provides their thorough intermixing. The method provides quick and safe isolation of nucleic acids.

EFFECT: higher efficiency.
