Abstract: The present invention relates to improved methods of isolating nucleic acids. In particular the method comprises the use of a wash buffer comprising bivalent cations prior to elution of the nucleic acid.
Abstract: A reaction plate includes a welded plastics planar laminate consisting of an aperture plate and a film, the aperture plate having at least one planar surface and a plurality of apertures in the planar surface of the apertured plate and the film being attached to the planar surface of the apertured plate around the or each aperture by welding. The welding is preferably laser or transmission welding. A method of forming such reaction plates using diode laser welding. An apparatus is provided for handling such reaction plates including performing polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) or primer extensions therewith.
