Abstract

A method of binding a nucleic acid and/or a contaminant from a sample includes the step of contacting the nucleic acid and/or the contaminant with a metal-based gel. The metal-based gel is preferably an aluminum-based gel, a cesium-based gel, a lanthanum-based gel, or a combination thereof. The phosphate concentration, phosphate:metal ratio, and/or pH in the sample is modulated during binding to influence the binding capacity and/or preference of the gel.
