Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a method of treatment and a method of storage that are useful in conducting a nucleic acid synthesis procedure capable of directly amplifying an intended nucleic acid in a living body-derived sample without purification steps.The present invention provides a method for synthesis of nucleic acids in which a living body-derived sample itself is mixed with a reaction solution for gene amplification and allowed to react, which method comprises treating the sample with a surfactant before the reaction to destruct solid components such as cells or bacterial bodies containing nucleic acids and uniformly disperse them in the sample liquid.
