Microdevice for performing method of separating and purifying nucleic acid

Abstract

A microdevice for performing a method for separating and purifying a nucleic acid, the microdevice comprising: at least one opening; and at least one channel for passing a sample solution, wherein the method comprises: (A) a step of bringing a nucleic acid-containing sample solution into contact with a nucleic acid-adsorbing support having a function of adsorbing a nucleic acid; (B) a step of washing the nucleic acid-adsorbing support with a washing solution in a state of a nucleic acid being adsorbed to the support; and (C) a step of desorbing the nucleic acid from the nucleic acid-adsorbing support by a recovering solution, thereby purifying the nucleic acid; an apparatus for utilizing the microdevice; and a reagent kit for use in the microdevice.
