Benefits of technology

[0006] Further, the surfactant may be diethyl glycol monoethyl ether (DGME). The DGME may be present at a concentration of about 5% to about 35% (or any percentage in between) of the total volume of the formulation. In general, as the concentration of other components of the formulation increase, the amount of DGME is increased

Problems solved by technology

Conventional liquid phase and solid phase purification strategies require many steps and hazardous reagents.

Cost Analysis

[0087] In order to produce the best quality solid phase DNA purification product, the product must function exceptionally well in several respects. The solid phase DNA purification product must effectively isolate a pure DNA sample from a variety of sample types and result in the highest possible yields of DNA. It must be user friendly, meaning the steps must not be too onerous, and the components must not be toxic and can be disposed of easily. Further, the product must be economical for the user. Therefore, finding cost effective components for the solutions was essential. Table 1 shows the cost for each of the salts evaluated herein.

Solubility and Heat of Solution Data for Chloride Salts and Compared to LiCl and LiBr Salts for Solid Phase DNA Purification Procedure

[0089] The solubility and performance of several chloride salts was examined and compared to two lithium salts, lithium chloride and lithium bromide. The DNA Lysing Solution was prepared using other chloride salts, in order to examine maximum solubility obtainable in both the buffer and detergent based DNA Lysing Solution. Table 2 shows the approximate maximum solubility as measured in this work and compares it to tabulated solubility data extrapolated to 20° C., as well as tabulated heat of solution data as obtained from the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (62nd edition, CRC Press, Boca Raton, Fla.).

[0090] The solubility of most of the chloride salts studied in the Lysing Solution, were comparable to the lithium chloride and bromide salts at a concentration of 4 M, except for those of potassium chloride and ammonium chloride. The expected solubil...

Evaluation of Detergents for DNA Purification

[0092] Much time and effort was spent screening detergents that would adequately lyse cells and also stay soluble in the DNA Lysing Solution of the present invention. The Tween, Triton, Tergitol, Nonidet and Igepal family of detergents were examined along with a number of surfactant compounds.

[0093] It was discovered that many of these detergent formulations, when mixed with the other ingredients of the DNA Lysing Solution, saponified or degraded over time and precipitated out of solution. For example, this occurred with 10% Tween-20 (polyoxylene sorbitan monolaurate). Similar performance was found using an equal mixture of Triton X-100 (t-octylphenoxy polyethoxyethanol) and Tween-20, though this mixture was stable for longer periods of time. This mixture, however, eventually saponified and separated. DGME (diethylene glycol monoethyl ether) was chosen for testing as a surfactant to help solubilize the salt and detergent combinations. A...

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 10 / 418,194, filed Apr. 16, 2003, which is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 09 / 974,798, filed Oct. 12, 2001, which is incorporated by reference herein.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] Work relating to this application was supported by National Institutes of Health Grant 1 R43 CA106124-01. The government may have certain rights in the invention.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Nucleic acids such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are used extensively in the field of molecular biology for research and clinical analyses. There are numerous nucleic acid purification methods that fall into two general categories, liquid phase and solid phase purification. In liquid phase purification, the DNA remains in the liquid phase while impurities are removed by precipitation and / or centrifugation. In solid ph...
