Abstract:
1. A method for isolating nucleic acids comprising: contacting a sample containing nucleic acids with a solid phase in a first aqueous solution having a pH from about 6 to about 9 to provide a loaded solid phase; wherein the first aqueous solution comprises one or more salts; and the surface of the solid phase comprises one or more functional groups having structural formula (I): washing the loaded solid phase with a second aqueous solution having a pH from about 6 to about 9 to provide a washed solid phase; wherein the second aqueous solution comprises a detergent and one or more salts; and isolating the nucleic acids by eluting the washed solid phase with a low ionic strength liquid having a pH from about 5 to about 9 to obtain the isolated nucleic acids.
