Does Size Matter? Comparison of Extraction Yields for Different-Sized DNA Fragments by Seven Different Routine and Four New Circulating Cell-Free Extraction Methods

Abstract excerpt

An element essential for PCR detection of microbial agents in many sample types is the extraction step, designed to purify nucleic acids. Despite the importance of this step, yields have not been extensively compared across methods to determine whether the method used contributes to quantitative differences and the lack of commutability seen with existing clinical methods. This may in part explain why plasma and...
