A METHOD FOR ISOLATING A NUCLEIC ACID BY USING A CARBON NANOTUBE

摘要

A method of isolating nucleic acid using a carbon nanotube is provided. The method includes contacting a mixture of a sample containing nucleic acid and a salt solution with a carbon nanotube to form a nucleic acid-carbon nanotube composite; washing the nucleic acid-carbon nanotube composite with a washing buffer; and eluting the nucleic acid from the nucleic acid-carbon nanotube composite.
