Title:
METHOD FOR SELECTING NUCLEIC ACIDS THAT BOND WITH HIGH-AFFINITY TO A TARGET
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002029093
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for selecting nucleic acids that bond with high affinity to a target from a mixture of nucleic acids. The method comprises the following steps: a) loading the interior of a column with the target molecules and immobilising the target molecules in said column; b) feeding the mixture of nucleic acids into a first end of the column, to create a defined volumetric flow of medium through the column, running from the first end to the second end of said column; c) the nucleic acids bond with the target molecules with an affinity that decreases as the distance from the first end of the column increases and are immobilised; d) the volumetric flow of medium through the column is stopped after a defined period; e) the column is divided into column segments by a plurality of partitions, a routing co-ordinate being allocated to each segment; f) the immobilised nucleic acids from at least one segment are desorbed in a non-specific manner and are extracted using the allocation of the routing co-ordinate allocated to the segment.
