METHOD FOR PURIFYING NUCLEIC ACID FROM SPECIMEN INCLUDING COLLOIDAL PARTICLES

摘要

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a method for purifying a nucleic acid from a specimen including colloidal particles in a highly-efficient manner, and an agent therefor. The present invention solves said problem by means of: a solubilizer including either or both of (i) an amide type surfactant and (ii) one or more amphipathic organic solvents selected from the group consisting of sulfoxide-based and amine-based amphipathic organic solvents, and (iii) a chaotropic agent; and a method for purifying a nucleic acid using the solubilizing reagent.
