Abstract: A method for extracting nucleic acids using suitable solid supports, for example silica-based. In particular, the method includes a step of capturing nucleic acids by placing the sample in contact with a suitable solid support, characterized in that, prior to the capture step, said method includes a step of treating the sample with at least one reagent for masking the amine or carboxylic acid functional groups of the proteins and/or polysaccharides of the sample.

Abstract: A three-layer complex including at least one magnetic compound, at least one inorganic silicate and at least one compound having an affinity for the at least one magnetic compound and/or the at least one inorganic silicate. The three-layer complex, and associated methods, may be applicable in the field of in vitro diagnostics.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process of functionalising at least one ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecule which comprises the following steps: a) having at least: a binding molecule constituted by an isatoic anhydride or a derivative thereof, a group of interest, and a binding arm linking the binding molecule with the group of interest, b) reacting the anhydride function of the binding molecule with at least one hydroxyl group in: position 2? of the ribose of one of the RNA nucleotides, and/or position(s) 2? and/or 3? of the ribose of the nucleotide at the 3? terminal end of the RNA, and c) obtaining an anthranilate linking, via the binding arm, the RNA to the group of interest. The invention also relates to a functionalising reagent able to be used in such processes, a functionalised biological RNA molecule capable of being obtained by these processes and a kit for detecting a target RNA molecule comprising such a reagent.
