Nucleic acid is captured from a mixture of cellular debris produced by cell lysis by exposing the mixture to an electrode and applying a nucleic acid capturing voltage to the electrode which is then removed from the mixture carrying said nucleic acid. The nucleic acid is undamaged and can be amplified by PCR.

Electrode capture of nucleic acid

dsDNA or other interacting molecules, e.g. antibody and antigen, are disassociated by applying an electrical voltage to a solution containing said molecules in a buffer favoring said disassociation e.g. CHES, CAPS OR CAPSO.
