Abstract

A process and apparatus for isolating and purifying nucleic acids and other target molecules directly from blood, plasma, urine, cell cultures and the like by totally automated means, without centrifugation, aspiration or vacuum; after mixing and heating a nucleic acid containing sample with lysis reagent in an environmentally isolated compartment, nucleic acids are absorbed onto a binding filter and eluted in a small volume using heated elution reagent; a preferred embodiment purifies nucleic acids and automatically detects target sequences from a sample of fresh blood. Another embodiment purifies target molecules from a multitude of samples held in microtiter plates; test kits for each embodiment include disposable isolation and detection devices and associated reagents.

18. A kit for carrying out the process according to Claim 1, for use with a machine constructed in accordance with Claims 2, 3, 4 or 7 comprising a disposable device constructed in accordance with Claims 2 , 3, 4 or 7 together with such lysis, wash and elution reagents as may be required to carry out the nucleic acid purification process.
19. A kit for carrying out the process according to Claim 1, for use with a machine constructed in accordance with Claim 5 comprising a multiplicity of disposable devices constructed in accordance with Claims 5 and 6, together with such lysis, wash and elution reagents as may be required to carry out the nucleic acid purification process.
20. An apparatus for mixing purified target molecules with components of an assay comprising

22. An apparatus constructed according to Claim
21 in which at least one said disposable second part of Claim 2 is joined with at least one said disposable second part of Claim 20 in such manner that the two devices together comprise a single disposable device, said device having means for withdrawing a nucleic acid or other target molecule - containing sample inside itself and sealing such sample from the environment, with means for isolating and purifying the nucleic acid or other target molecule from the sample, with means for combining the purified molecules with components of at least one nucleic acid or other analytical test, with means for subjecting the said at least one test mixture to an exposure to at least one temperature optimal for carrying out the test or to multiple temperatures, with means for combining the said test mixture with at least one additional test reagent or with multiple reagents optimal for carrying out the test and for detecting the test results, and with means for measuring the results of a test without opening the apparatus or exposing any molecules of the test within the apparatus to the external environment.
23. An apparatus constructed according to Claim
22 in which the means for detecting test results is by measurements of light emission or light adsorption within a transparent portion of the apparatus, such as but not limited to measurements of an increase or a decrease in fluorescence, chemiluminescence, bioluminescence or light adsorption of the test mixture, of the test mixtures, such measurements being made without opening the device containing the test mixture or exposing any molecules of the test within the apparatus to the external environment.
24. The use of a test solution as an elution reagent for eluting purified target molecules from a solid matrix, said test solution being composed of reagents for determining the presence and/or amount of target nucleic acids or other molecules. -31-
25. The use of a test solution, heated to between 20 to 100 degrees Celsius, but preferably to 95 degrees, composed of NTPs, buffers, primer DNA sequences and nucleic acid polymerases for carrying out the polymerase chain reaction, or RT-PCR, as an elution reagent for target RNA or DNA adsorbed onto silica or other adsorbents, or bound by hybridization or avidin-biotin or by another means, before carrying out thermal cycling.
26. The use of a test solution, heated to between 20 and 100 degrees Celsius, but preferably to an optimum annealing temperature for the NASBA reaction, composed of enzymes, buffers and primer sequences for carrying out the NASBA reaction, as an elution reagent for target RNA adsorbed onto silica or other adsorbents, or bound by hybridization or avidin-biotin or by another means, before carrying out the NASBA reaction.
27. The use of any target molecule test solution, heated to between 20 and 100 degrees Celsius, but preferably to an optimum test temperature, as an elution reagent for target molecules adsorbed onto silica or other adsorbents, or bound by hybridization or avidin-biotin or by another means, before carrying out the target molecule test.
28. An apparatus constructed according to claims 2, 20, and 22 in which the first part has means for receiving a multiplicity of samples held in sealed sample tubes and means for holding a multiplicity of second disposable parts constructed according to claim 22, with means for withdrawing samples from said sample tubes into said second parts to purify target molecules within said second parts, to combine purified target molecules with test reagents and to measure the test results of said multiple samples using multiple said second parts, without opening said second parts or exposing any molecules within to the external environment, said measurements being made sequentially or simultaneously.
