摘要 |
Devices and methods are provided for separation of nucleic acids from waste materials in a biological sample, and then reacting the separated nucleic acids. In some embodiments, the methods comprise mixing a cell lysate having nucleic acids and waste materials with a waste-binding matrix to capture the cellular waste materials from the lysate. The waste-binding matrix can comprise hydrophilic and/or hydrophobic size-exclusion, ion-exchange particles. In some embodiments, the device comprises a substrate comprising a fluid processing pathway in which nucleic acid sample preparation occurs prior to a downstream genotyping reaction.
