<p>The invention relates to a method for treating a biological sample collected in or comprising a carbohydrate based matrix such that the sample may be analysed more reliably. According to the invention the sample is brought into contact with an enzyme product comprising cellulase, hemicellulase, amylase and/or pectinase activity in order to loosen the matrix structure. The invention also relates to a method for analysing biological samples and a test kit for sampling such material. The test kit typically contains a sampling device, which comprises a part of fibrous material, to which biological material may be collected or absorbed, and a pretreatment agent containing hydrolase activity, with which the sample material absorbed in the fibrous material may be released for analysis.</p> |
