METHODS OF ISOLATING NUCLEIC ACIDS UNDER REDUCED DEGRADATION CONDITION

摘要

A method of isolating nucleic acids from a biological material, comprises applying the biological material on a substrate comprising one or more cell lysis reagents impregnated therein; applying a fluid to the biological material applied on the substrate; extracting the nucleic acids from the biological material applied on the substrate; and collecting the extracted nucleic acids in a substantially intact form, wherein the collected nucleic acid has a molecular weight greater than or equal to 20 kb.
