Abstract
A method for preparing a sample of biological materials containing target cells and accompanying cells for extracting nucleic acids of the target cells includes accumulating the target cells of the sample by separating the target cells or the accompanying cells from the sample. The method also includes digesting the target cells via chemical and/or physical lysis in order to produce a target cell lysate containing the nucleic acids of the target cells. The method furthermore includes purifying the nucleic acids from the target cell lysate in order to extract the nucleic acids of the target cells.
