Abstract

The invention features a method of isolating nucleic acid in a substantially purified form, including the steps of: a) contacting a biological sample which contains aggregated nucleic acid with a matrix comprising a solid hydrophilic organic polymer without an effective positive charge under conditions which permit the nucleic acid to bind to the matrix; and b) recovering nucleic acid from the matrix.
