  • Method for isolating DNA
    Patent number: 6706498
    Abstract: The invention describes a method for the isolation of components from samples, particularly large molecular weight DNA from biological samples. The method involves the application of controlled oscillatory mechanical energy to the sample for short periods of time of about 5 to 60 seconds to lyse the sample and release the component(s) from the sample, followed by standard isolation methods. In preferred embodiments, the method includes the use of a spherical particle for applying the mechanical energy.
