Method for separation and purification of nucleic acid and unit for separation and purification of nucleic acid

摘要

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for separation and purification of nucleic acid, which has excellent separating properties, high washing efficiency, and easy processability, which uses mass-producible solid phases with substantially uniform separating capacities, and wherein procedures can be automated, and a unit for separation and purification of nucleic acid suitable for implementing this method. The object of the present invention was attained by a method for separation and purification of nucleic acid comprising the steps of adsorbing nucleic acid onto a solid phase and desorbing the nucleic acid from the solid phase, wherein the solid phase comprises a base material in which a graft polymer chain having a hydrophilic group is bonded onto the surface; and a unit for separation and purification of nucleic acid which comprises, in a container having at least two openings, a solid phase of a base material in which a graft polymer chain having a hydrophilic group is bonded onto its surface.
