Rna/dna isolation kit with high efficiency

Abstract

The present invention relates to a magnetic gradient-based nucleic acid isolation kit that provides nucleic acid (RNA/DNA) isolation from biological materials. The kit comprises a flat-bottomed tube (1) made of glass or its derivatives, configured to contain biological material: a modular and reusable magnetic gradient patch (2) that is made of ferromagnetic metal powder and polymer, that is positioned outside and below the tube such that it is not in direct contact with the biological material to be placed in the tube (1), that is in direct contact with the entire flat bottom of the tube (1); and a mold (3) positioned under the flat-bottom tube (1), configured such that the magnetic gradient patch (1) is put into it. By means of the present invention, a kit is provided for target nucleic acid retention that does not require the direct binding of magnetic elements to nucleic acids and their cleaning, that has a magnetic gradient patch that can be used repeatedly, that accelerates and facilitates the nucleic acid isolation step, thereby accelerating the process in studies that require the use of nucleic acids.
