This video demonstrates a technique for nucleic acid extraction from whole human blood using magnetic glass particles (MGPs) — small magnetic beads coated with silica. Upon lysing the blood cells using a lysis buffer, the released nucleic acids bind to the surface of silica-coated MGPs, extracting the molecules from the sample.
Protocol
All procedures involving sample collection have been performed in accordance with the institute's IRB guidelines 1. Blood Collection from Patients CAUTION: Take appropriate laboratory safety measures when collecting whole blood from the patient. Wear gloves and glasses. If the patient is in isolation, please follow biosafety level 4 procedures. To collect intravenous whole blood from the patient, use a butterfly need…
