Abstract

A novel DNA purification technology is described that enables the purification of pure dsDNA from blood. When compared to existing DNA purification methods, the Whatman BioScience Purification System (WBPS) offers a fast and convenient way to recover high yields of DNA. WBPS is based on a unique filter system that entraps DNA within a matrix. This allows the process to be performed in a single unidirectional reaction vessel, reducing user interaction and multiple centrifugation steps.
