Method for enhancing efficiency and sensitivity in nucleic acid amplification from biological materials using ionic liquids

摘要

A method for amplifying a nucleic acid in the presence of an ionic liquid such as 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMITF) that suppresses an inhibitor of nucleic acid amplification, particularly when in a biological material such as feces, and a composition useful for performing the method.
