Abstract

The present invention involves a process for the isolation of nucleic acids on surfaces by means of at least the following steps: charging of a surface from a given direction with nucleic acids; immobilization of the nucleic acids on the surface; release of the immobilized nucleic acids from the surface; and removal of the released nucleic acids essentially in the direction of charging. Preferably the loading takes place from the top.
