Isolation and purification of nucleic acids

摘要

The invention relates to a method for the isolation and purification of nucleic acids such as DNA, RNA, and PNA from various sources using cellulose particles or cellulose paper. Adjusting the concentrations of the salt and polyalkylene glycol to the levels that result in binding of nucleic acids to the cellulose particles or cellulose paper. Separating the nucleic acids bound to the cellulose particles or paper and eluting the nucleic acids from the particles or paper.
