Abstract

See full text

In an apparatus for purifying and concentrating DNA, from a crude mixture containing DNA, a unitary collection cup for collecting the DNA from a lysate sample is provided; also, a retainer member for retaining a gel matrix. Both the collection cup and the gel matrix, which is disposed above the collection cup, are adapted to be engaged with a lysate container. The container functions to receive the lysate sample, which sample typically is derived from human whole blood; rotation of the lysate sample container produces opening and closing of a pathway defined by slotted passages in the collection cup, thereby selectively controlling the flow of electrophoresis buffer solution through the interior of the collection cup at appropriate times.
