The different stages of the method are lyse, bind, wash, and elute. [1] [2] More specifically, this entails the lysis of target cells to release nucleic acids, selective binding of nucleic acid to a silica membrane, washing away particulates and inhibitors that are not bound to the silica membrane, and elution of the nucleic acid, with the end result being purified nucleic acid in an aqueous ...
Solid phase extraction such as using a spin-column-based extraction method takes advantage of the fact that DNA binds to silica. The sample containing DNA is added to a column containing a silica gel or silica beads and chaotropic salts. The chaotropic salts disrupt the hydrogen bonding between strands and facilitate the binding of the DNA to ...
Spin column-based nucleic acid purification is a method of purifying DNA, RNA or plasmid from a sample using a spin column filter. [25] The method is based on the principle of selectively binding nucleic acids to a solid matrix in the spin column, while other contaminants, such as proteins and salts, are washed away. The conditions are then ...
Gravity-flow, or drip, columns use head-pressure from a buffer-chase to push the sample through the gel filtration matrix. Sample is loaded into the top of an upright column and allowed to flow into the resin bed. The sample is then chased through the column by adding additional buffer or water to the top of the column.
A column is prepared by packing a solid adsorbent into a cylindrical glass or plastic tube. The size will depend on the amount of compound being isolated. The base of the tube contains a filter, either a cotton or glass wool plug, or glass frit to hold the solid phase in place. A solvent reservoir may be attached at the top of the column.
