Patent ID: 11208686

Abstract:
The present invention addresses the problem of providing a reagent for extracting/amplifying a nucleic acid of a nucleic acid extraction target, the reagent being characterized in that a nucleic acid is conveniently extracted quickly and efficiently from the nucleic acid extraction target and inhibition of a nucleic acid amplification reaction is minimized, and the problem of providing a method for extracting or amplifying a nucleic acid using said reagent. The problems are solved by using a kit for extracting and amplifying a nucleic acid of a nucleic acid extraction target from a sample containing the nucleic acid extraction target, the kit including (i) a nucleic acid extraction reagent containing at least a surfactant having a steroid skeleton, (ii) γ-cyclodextrin having a C1-4 hydroxyalkyl group, and (iii) a nucleic acid amplification reagent.
