Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for desalting nucleic acid samples. The method involves contacting a liquid sample comprising a nucleic acid and an ionic salt with an ion exchanger comprising an insoluble phosphate salt, removing said liquid, and eluting said nucleic acid from the ion exchanger. The desalted nucleic acids provided by the methods of the invention are suitable for a wide variety of analytic and diagnostic applications, including high-throughput assays.
