IMPROVED RECOVERY OF NUCLEIC ACIDS FROM MAGNETIC GLASS PARTICLES

摘要

The present invention is a method of separating nucleic acids using a solid phase capable of binding nucleic acids, such as magnetic glass particles, where binding of nucleic acids to the solid phase is enhanced by the presence of an ethylene-amine compound. The invention further includes a reaction mixture for isolating nucleic acids containing an ethylene-amine compound and kits for carrying out the method.
