Embodiments of the invention relate to an active biochip for nucleic acid analysis. The biochip comprises an inlet for introducing a nucleic acid sample, fluid channels, valves in contact with the fluid channels and pumps in contact with the fluid channels and adapted to generate a carrier gas or move a buffer through a portion of the fluid channels. The biochip also includes one or more hydroxyapatite columns for separating a portion of the nucleic acid sample, buffer reservoirs in contact with the fluid channels and positioned near the pumps, air exits, a waste reservoir and a nucleic acid analysis region.
