A simplified method of obtaining purified nucleic acids uses a single buffer solution to both wash and elute nucleic acids bound to a binding phase. Use of a single buffer solution avoids the time-consuming aspect of using different wash and elution buffer solutions during multiple nucleic acid purification steps. The method for purifying nucleic acids using a single buffer solution includes steps of:

Nucleic acid purification system using a single wash and elution buffer solution

In order to provide a system allowing an improved and facilitated preparation of a sample for an appropriate analysis, a device for preparing a patient's sample before analysis is provided. The device comprises a housing () and an actuator (). The housing includes a receiving chamber (). The receiving chamber is configured for receiving a liquid. The actuator is movable relative to the housing. The actuator is configured for extracting a predetermined amount of the liquid received in the receiving chamber and for supplying the extracted liquid to a reagent chamber, so that the reagent is suspended in the liquid. The actuator comprises a metering chamber () configured for receiving the predetermined amount of the liquid and for supplying the predetermined amount of the liquid to the reagent chamber.
