Abstract: A method of single-stranded RNA purification comprising the steps applying a sample containing single-stranded RNA to a solid phase bearing dominantly or exclusively primary amino groups on its surface, at a pH value sufficient to bind at least predominantly the single-stranded RNA, eluting the single-stranded RNA from the surface of the solid phase by exposing the surface of the solid phase to increasing pH.

Abstract: A method of single-stranded RNA purification comprising the steps: applying a sample containing single-stranded RNA to a solid phase dominantly or exclusively bearing both primary and secondary amino groups on its surface under conditions sufficient to bind at least predominantly the single-stranded RNA, eluting the single-stranded RNA adsorbed on the surface of the solid phase from the solid surface by means of an elution buffer having a higher concentration of comprising soluble pyrophosphate anions than needed for desorbing double-stranded RNA.
