Nucleic acids are extracted rapidly, safely and directly from a sample without pipetting steps by using predispensed, interconnectable vessels. These vessels are used separately or interconnected according to the mictrotiter standard format. The sample is mixed with lysis buffer and the nucleic acids bound to a matrix in a closed system, comprising at least two interconnectable volumes. By forcing the sample and buffer mixture back and forth from one volume to another, passing a narrow passage, thorough mixing is ensured. |
