摘要 |
A method of separating and purifying nucleic acids from samples containing cells, such as blood and culture solutions. According to the method of the invention, a cell extract obtained by cell disruption is adsorbed by a filter made of a nonwoven fabric and the nucleic acid is eluted after washing the filter. Alkaline conditions of pH 12 or higher may be employed for elution of the nucleic acid, or the filter-adsorbed nucleic acid may be eluted by treatment with active oxygen or by using a surfactant. Nucleic acids separated and purified by the method of the invention can be used in nucleic acid amplification and nucleic acid sequence analysis techniques.
