Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of stabilizing and/or isolating nucleic acids, wherein a biological sample containing nucleic acids is contacted with a cationic compound. The invention also relates to said cationic compound per se and to the use of said cationic compound in stabilizing and/or isolating nucleic acids. Furthermore, the invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions, diagnostic compositions, and to compositions used in research, which include cationic compounds or a complex being formed upon contact of said cationic compound with a nucleic acid.

Abstract: Described are novel methods for producing microporous elements and microporous elements obtainable by such methods. Provided are also microporous elements including solid microparticles, which preferably modify the adsorptive properties of the microporous element. Described are also microporous elements which are linked to a support and/or a retainer as well as methods for their production. Filter elements comprising the above-described microporous elements are also provided. Furthermore, kits, diagnostic and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the aforementioned microporous or filter elements are described. Furthermore, uses of the aforementioned microporous and filter elements in microfiltration, chromatography, adsorption/immobilization of organic and inorganic compounds as well as for the preparation and/or detection of such compounds are disclosed.

Abstract: A chromatography material is described for separation of nucleic acid mixtures in which a support is converted with a silanization reagent, in which the silanization reagent has a reactive group converted with silanization reagent, in which the silanization reagent has a reactive group converted with an alkyl- or dialkylamine, or contains a reactive group that can be converted with an alkyl- or dialkylamine, which is then reacted with the alkyl- or dialkylamine.
