Abstract
A novel DNA purification technology is described that enables tile purifica tion of pure dsDNA from blood When compared to existing DNA purification me thods, the Whatman BioScience Purification System (WBPS) offers a fast and convenient way to recover high yields of DNA. WBPS is based on a unique fil ter system that entraps DNA within a matrix. This allows the process to be performed in a single unidirectional reaction vessel, reducing user interac tion and multiple centrifugation steps.
