Abstract
Methods for the recovery of nucleic acids from a nucleic acid-containing material are provided, by which nucleic acids can be rapidly and easily recovered at a high purity without deteriorating the yield. The methods are composed of a step for promoting the release of nucleic acids from a nucleic acid-containing material, a step for mixing the released nucleic acids with an accelerator substance for the binding of nucleic acids to a solid phase, a step for making the mixture in contact with a solid phase bondable to nucleic acids, a step for isolating the solid phase from a liquid, a step for washing the solid phase with a solution containing a salt, and a step for eluting the nucleic acids from the solid phase. Accordingly, nucleic acids at a suitable purity for genetic tests or gene analyses can be rapidly and easily recovered without the use of hazardous substances.
