RAPID CELLULAR LYSIS BY REDUCTION/OXIDATION REACTION

Abstract:

Provided herein are methods for the rapid preparation of amplifiable nucleic acids from biological samples, which can be applied to various applications, such as, for example, point-of-care diagnostics, service laboratory diagnostics, and molecular biology applications. These methods can be performed in 15 minutes or less, and preferably in 5 minutes or less. For most applications, no further purification of nucleic acids is needed.
