  • DEVICES AND PROCESSES FOR NUCLEIC ACID EXTRACTION
    Publication number: 20120237939
    Abstract: Devices, processes, and kits for the extraction of nucleic acids from biological samples are disclosed. The devices comprise a first port, a second port, and a binding chamber intermediate and in fluid communication with the first port and the second port. The binding chamber comprises an unmodified flat glass surface effective for binding a heterogeneous population of nucleic acids. The first port, second port, and binding chamber define a continuous fluid pathway that is essentially free of nucleic acid-specific binding sites.
    Type: Application
    Filed: April 20, 2012
    Publication date: September 20, 2012
    Applicant: BLOOD CELL STORAGE, INC.
    Inventors: Michael W. Reed, Oliver Z. Nanassy, Paul V. Haydock, Nigel Rudra Sharma, Ronald L. Bardell, Perry Hargrave
