  • Method of isolating nucleic acid from specimens in liquid-based cytology preservatives containing formaldehyde
    Patent number: 9771571
    Abstract: Method, composition, kit and system for isolating amplifiable nucleic acid from specimens preserved in a liquid-based cytology preservative that contains formaldehyde. The technique relies on the use of 2-imidazolidone and a protease enzyme, such as proteinase K, at elevated temperatures. Advantageously, RNA can be isolated and used as a template in nucleic acid amplification reactions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 2, 2015
    Date of Patent: September 26, 2017
    Assignee: GEN-PROBE INCORPORATED
    Inventors: Deborah Christine Jensen, Brett Wolfe Kirkconnell, Timothy Joseph Wilson
