Abstract:
A screening method for the identification of a characteristic of a target nucleic acid in a whole blood sample, including positioning a composition comprising whole blood and at least one preservative agent within a centrifuge, centrifugating the composition to isolate a plasma that includes at least one target nucleic acid for further analysis and analyzing the at least one target nucleic acid to identify a characteristic about the at least one target nucleic acid, and a composition including the plasma, the preservative agent, and any other ingredient, which is produced by the method.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for identifying a characteristic of a target nucleic acid in a whole blood sample, comprising the steps of:\n a. positioning a composition comprising whole blood and at least one preservative agent within a centrifuge; b. centrifugating the composition at a speed of at least about 1000 g and below about 4500 g for at least about 5 minutes to isolate a plasma that includes the target nucleic acid for further analysis; c. analyzing the target nucleic acid obtained from step b to identify the characteristic of the target nucleic acid, wherein the method is free of any second centrifugating step.
