Spin columnbased nucleic acid purification Wikipedia
Procedure. The stages of the method are lyse, bind, wash and elute, lysis of cells, binding of nucleic acid to silica gel membrane, washing the nucleic acid bound to the silica gel membrane and elution of the nucleic acid. To lyse, the cells of a sample are processed with a lytic procedure, which involves breaking the cell membrane and freeing the nucleic acid.
