Abstract
Extraction of nucleic acids from samples for PCR is often time-consuming and may involve a large number of pipetting and transferring steps, with the addition of a number of reagents. This may cause loss of valuable target material and cross-contamination, and increase the opportunity for errors. It may also reduce the number of samples that might conveniently be handled at one time.
