METHOD FOR ELIMINATING NUCLEIC ACID AMPLIFICATION INHIBITORS

摘要

A method for eliminating nucleic acid amplification inhibitors characterized by treating a biological specimen containing nucleic acids with an acid; and a reagent for treating a biological specimen to eliminate nucleic acid amplification inhibitors. By using this method, nucleic acid amplification inhibitors can be quickly and conveniently eliminated from a biological specimen and nucleic acids can be efficiently amplified. Thus, this method is useful in the field of clinical diagnosis.
