Reaction condition compositions for detecting a genomic variation from a small sample amount from 5 nano grams (ng) to 1 microgram (ug) includes DNA ligase, DNA polymerase, at least one COP, a DNA polymerase buffer, NAD+, at least two primers, and deoxynucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs). Detection of the genomic variation utilizes COPs with increased ligation efficiency and RCA with fluorescence detection due to simultaneous ligation of COPs to CPs and replication of the genomic variation. The reaction condition composition eliminates the need to perform background reduction of un-hybridized or un-ligated COPs.

A portable nucleic acid extraction kit includes a portable nucleic acid extraction apparatus, at least one lysis buffer, at least one binding buffer, at least one washing buffer, at least one elution buffer, and at least three kit sample tubes. The portable nucleic acid extraction apparatus includes a handle, a rod, a tip, and may include a nucleic acid binding medium. The method of using the portable nucleic acid extraction apparatus includes, treating a biological sample having a nucleic acid, binding the nucleic acid in the treated biological sample to the tip of the portable nucleic acid extraction apparatus, incubating the tip of the portable nucleic acid extraction apparatus bound with the nucleic acid, washing the tip of the portable nucleic acid apparatus bound with the nucleic acid, eluting the bound nucleic acid, and analyzing the eluted nucleic acid.

A capsule to store and deliver lyophilized reagents is described. The lyophilized reagent capsule is configured to store a lyophilized reagent for at least five days, and is further configured to deliver a lyophilized reagent to a biological sample. The capsule includes a top, a bottom, and a lyophilized reagent. A method for delivering the lyophilized reagent via the capsule and without the use of pipettes to deliver the lyophilized reagents is described. The capsule may be part of a lyophilized reagent capsule kit.
