The method for isolating nucleic acids from a food sample comprising the following steps: a) obtaining a food enrichment culture; b) transferring a portion of the food enrichment culture into a reaction vessel thereby providing a food enrichment sample and providing a water-immiscible phase in contact with the food enrichment culture; c) lysing the food enrichment sample to provide a lysed sample; d) isolating nucleic acids from the lysed sample. Food enrichment culture samples are known to contain high concentrations of organic and/or liposoluble inhibitors. By contacting the enrichment culture sample with a water-immiscible phase before the actual DNA extraction procedure starts, part of the lipophilic inhibitors is expected to cross the phase interface due to an enhanced solubility in the organic phase and thereby become depleted. The water-immiscible phase provided according to the invention interacts directly with the sample material throughout bacteria lysis and DNA extraction thereby optimizing the subsequent DNA purification processes due to the depletion of food-borne inhibitors. This method yields nucleic acids, in particular DNA that is of an improved quality and purity to be used in a subsequent PCR reaction to detect pathogen nucleic acids in the isolated nucleic acids.

The present invention pertains to a method for isolating nucleic acids from a sample, preferably a blood sample, comprising the following steps: a) obtaining a sample which has been stabilized by the use of at least one cationic detergent, wherein the cationic detergent has formed complexes with the nucleic acids; b) obtaining the complexes optionally together with other sample components from the stabilized sample, wherein said complexes comprise the nucleic acids to be isolated; c) resuspending the complexes and optionally adding one or more additives before, during and/or after resuspension, thereby obtaining a resuspended sample comprising at least: i) the nucleic acid to be isolated; ii) at least one chaotropic agent; and iii) at least one chelating agent; and d) isolating nucleic acids from the resuspended sample. It was found that adding a chelating agent during resuspension considerably increases the nucleic acid yield as the formation of precipitates which irreversibly adhere to the container wall is considerably reduced.

The present invention pertains to method for purifying at least a target nucleic acid from a sample, said method comprising at least the following steps: a) incubating the sample with at least one protein-degrading compound; b) binding the target nucleic acid to a solid phase; c) eluting the target nucleic acid from the solid phase; d) incubating the eluted target nucleic acid with at least one protein-degrading compound; e) binding the target nucleic acid again to a solid phase; f) optionally eluting the bound target nucleic acid from the solid phase. It was surprisingly found that performing a second protein digestion step after the target nucleic acid was bound and eluted from a solid phase before the nucleic acids are rebound to a solid phase is very efficient in reducing remaining protein contaminations in the isolated nucleic acid.

The present invention pertains to a method of isolating RNA from a sample comprising RNA, and DNA, comprising: a) adding an acidic denaturing composition comprising a chaotropic agent and phenol to the sample; b) adding a water-insoluble organic solvent and separating the resulting phases thereby forming a multi-phase mixture comprising an aqueous phase, optionally an interphase and an organic phase, wherein the RNA is concentrated in said aqueous phase and DNA and proteins are concentrated in said organic phase and/or in said interphase; and c) isolating said RNA from said aqueous phase, wherein at least one cationic detergent is added before separating the phases. It was found that the addition of at least one cationic detergent considerably reduces the amount of DNA in the aqueous, RNA containing phase. Therefore, the present invention allows to easily isolate pure RNA which comprises considerably less DNA contaminations.
