Zusammenfassung: | There is described a method of processing a specimen that includes a clinical sample disposed in a liquid-based cytology preservative that comprises formaldehyde, the method comprising the steps of: (a) combining the specimen with a protease enzyme and formaldehyde scavenger to create a reaction mixture; (b) incubating the reaction mixture at an elevated temperature for a period of time sufficient to reverse chemical modifications of nucleic acid that may be contained in the specimen by formaldehyde in the liquid-based cytology preservative; and (c) isolating a nucleic acid from the reaction mixture after the incubating step (b). |
