Abstract
A method of processing nucleic acid samples for analysis comprises the use of one or more manifolds (10) with a plurality of individual solid phase members (11) adapted for cooperation with a corresponding set or sets of receptacles (13; 15; 17). A nucleic acid species in a sample is bound to each solid phase member (11) by introducing the solid phase members into a receptacle or set of receptacles (13; 15; 17) which contain the sample or samples. Optionally, the bound nucleic acid species may be processed in a second set or sets of receptacles, and reaction products therein may be bound to the solid phase members (11) of a second manifold or manifolds. The solid phase members (11) of the first or second manifolds are then introduced into the sample receptacle or receptacles of an analyser for analyzing the nucleic acid species or reaction products, wherein nucleic acid species or reaction products are released from the solid phase members (11).
