- Qbeta-replicase-amplification method Since various nucleic acid amplification methods such as LAMP (loop-mediated isothermal amplification) have been developed, the application range of nucleic acid testing has expanded, and the demand for extracting nucleic acids from biological samples is increasing. It is believed that.
- Non-Patent Document 1 A phenol / chloroform extraction method is known as a method for extracting nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA from biological samples.
- this method places a heavy burden on the operator due to the use of harmful organic solvents and complicated operations. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a method (for example, Non-Patent Document 1) using a property of binding nucleic acid to silica or glass fiber in the presence of a chaotropic agent has been proposed, and an automatic apparatus for performing nucleic acid extraction has also been developed. (For example, Patent Document 1).
- the flow of nucleic acid extraction that is usually performed in an automatic apparatus is as follows (1) to (6).
- the cells are disrupted with a solution containing a chaotropic agent or a surfactant and the nucleic acid is eluted in the solution.
- Nucleic acid is adsorbed on the particle surface by adding and mixing magnetic beads (magnetic silica particles) coated with silica on the surface.

- a chaotropic agent or surfactant contained in a solution used for cell disruption, or a drug such as ethanol or isopropanol contained in a washing solution inhibits an enzymatic reaction that follows a PCR method or the like. Therefore, it is desired to remove as much as possible, but there is a problem that the remaining reaction liquid is brought into the next step because the same reaction vessel is used after the removal. In addition, there is a problem that the magnetic beads are excluded too much in order to increase the removal efficiency.
