Abstract

A method, device and a kit for determining total nucleic acid concentration in a nucleic acid solution, which comprises applying the nucleic acid solution to a nucleic acid-support capable of retaining the total nucleic acid in the form of a nucleic acid spot having a size that is proportional to the nucleic acid concentration; measuring the size of the nucleic acid spot produced on the nucleic-support; and comparing the size of the nucleic acid spot with a standard.
