    摘要: A method of determining the presence or absence of a target nucleic acid in a cell sample, said method comprising: a) contacting a surface comprising anion exchange moieties with the sample under conditions suitable to induce binding between the cells and said surface; b) separating the surface with the bound cells from the remaining sample to collect the cells; c) releasing nucleic acids from the cells and d) generating a hybrid between the target nucleic acid and a probe specific for the target nucleic acid e) detecting the presence or absence of the hybrid. The present invention is provides a rapid and automatable method, wherein cells, such as epithelial cells originating from cervical swab samples, are collected from the surrounding liquid medium, such as a liquid based cytology medium, by binding them to an anion exchange surface. The cells bind directly with high affinity and quick kinetics to the anion exchange surface which preferably is provided by magnetic particles carrying anion exchange moieties. The cells that are bound to the anion exchange surface can be easily separated from the surrounding medium and can be directly resuspended in a composition that is suitable for a subsequent hybrid capturing assay which is performed in step d) to detect e. g. pathogen nucleic acids such as HPV nucleic acids.
