Zusammenfassung: | Abstract Method, composition, kit and system for isolating amplifiable nucleic acid from specimens preserved in a liquid-based cytology preservative that contains formaldehyde. The technique relies on the use of 2-imidazolidone and a protease enzyme, such as proteinase K, at elevated temperatures. Advantageously, RNA can be isolated and used as a template in nucleic acid amplification reactions. |
