Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Mesoporous sorbents are effective for storing and transporting nucleic acids. In particular, two ethane-bridged silica sorbents with amine functionalities are particularly effective and capable of binding nucleic acids for storage.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of storing a nucleic acid comprising: contacting the nucleic acid with a mesoporous ethane-bridged silica sorbent with both N5 and CuEDA, thereby causing the nucleic acid to releasably bind to the sorbent. 2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising an initial step of washing the sorbent with a detergent prior to said contacting. 3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising a step of eluting the nucleic acid from the sorbent following binding. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said contacting occurs in a complex matrix comprises lysed cells. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said nucleic acid comprises RNA. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said sorbent is associated with a stabilizer. 7. The method of claim 6 , wherein said stabilizer is selected from the group consisting of bovine serum albumin, trehalose, and glucosamine.
