Abstract: The internal slide includes two spaced rods (1, 2), lying in the plane of curvature. Their end pivots (3, 4) connect to the swinging section (5) following a path about the axis (K) of bend curvature, the rods remaining parallel to the bend connecting section or collar (9). Preferred Features: Rod guidance is by parallel links (6, 7) in the plane of curvature, pivoting or moving together towards the connecting section (9). Pivot axes (14, 15) and free ends (16, 17) of the links are each mounted in guide blocks (10, 11), the free ends of the links working in slots. The guide blocks are carried along by offset stops (18, 19) of the cylindrical core (13), as this is moved. The swinging section (5) reaches only up to the center of the bend when inserted. The bend core includes a slide (20). This moves along the core during withdrawal, the swinging section moving along the axis of the bend collar.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods for easily separating single stranded nucleic acid material from double stranded nucleic acid material in a sample containing both. By the right choice of at lease one chaotropic agent, preferably a guanidine salt, at a selected concentration and other suitable conditions such a chelating agents, pH and the like, it is possible to bind double stranded material to a solid phase such as silica particles, whereas single stranded material will not bind under those circumstances. By separating the silica particles from the sample the double stranded nucleic acid material is removed. It can easily be eluted from the silica particles. In a second step the single stranded material may be bound to a solid phase by selecting a different set of conditions. The particles can again be separated from the sample and the single stranded material may now be eluted. For very efficent separations, the process may be repeated. Following the separation of the two kinds of nucleic acid, either kind may be amplified. Methods of amplification are provided which do not need sequence data of the material to be amplified. In these methods a primer will be provided with an amplification motif and a random hybridization motif.
