REACTION CHAMBERS CONTAINING COMPLEX STABLE REAGENT FORMULATIONS AND TEST KIT FOR DETECTION AND ISOLATION OF PATHOGENIC MICROBIAL NUCLEIC ACIDS

摘要

The invention relates to standard reaction chambers containing complex stabl e reagent formulations, suitable for the holding and optional storage of compl ex liquid patient samples, subsequently analysed for the presence of pathogenic microbial nucleic acids (bacteria, viruses etc). The reaction chambers preferably comprise complex stable reagent formulations, which permit the detection and quantitative isolation of viral and bacterial nucleic acids ev en in the presence of a limited number of replications from a complex biologica l sample. A simple archiving system for clinically relevant nucleic acids can be produced at the same time. The application of said reaction chambers, comprising the complex stable reagent formulations, permits a drastic reduction in the necessary method steps for sample handling and a significan t reduction in potential infection risks and contamination risks.
