<p>The invention relates to an apparatus for blocking nucleic acids by means of photoactivating intercalating agents, comprising: a housing (1) with an upper wall (1a) with one or more through holes (2), intended for inserting therethrough one or more test or microcentrifuge tubes (3), each of which contains a respective sample (M) including nucleic acids and photosensitive intercalating agents mixed in liquid form, and one or more LEDs (L1, L2, L3, L10, L20, L30) mounted inside the housing (1) such that they emit light, according to one or more determined directions, towards respective parts (3a, 3b and 3c) of said of tubes (3), to photoactivate the intercalating agents in order to covalently bond them to free or accessible nucleic acids.</p> |
