| 摘要 |
The invention concerns a method and device for the rapid, simultaneous isolation of genomic desoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and cellular total ribonucleic acid (RNA), free of genomic DNA from various starting materials. The fields of application are molecular biology, biochemistry, gene technology (in particular gene therapy), medicine, biomedical diagnosis, veterinary medicine, food analysis and all related fields. The method proposed is characterized in that materials containing DNA and RNA are lysed in a special buffer, the lysate incubated with a mineral carrier, the carrier with the DNA bound to it separated off and washed with buffer solution, and the DNA subsequently separated from the carrier with a buffer of lower salt concentration. The lysate left after separating off the DNA bound to the carrier is mixed with phenol, chloroform and sodium acetate in defined proportions, the phases allowed to separate, and the total RNA precipitated from the aqueous phase by adding isopropanol. Lysis is carried out using buffers containing chaotropic salts with a high ionic strength. Lysis of the material and bonding of the genomic DNA to the carrier are both carried out in the same buffer. Both the lysis of the starting material and all necessary washing steps are carried out in an apparatus which makes it possible to process 12 samples in parallel.
