To purify the DNA, proteinase K is added to digest the antibodies and release the DNA, which can be collected and prepared for DNA detection.

"Method for reducing non-specific priming in DNA detection", Wang CNJ, Wu KY. (1996).

Except for one study in Europe, much of the data implicating lizards is based on DNA detection of the spirochete and has not demonstrated lizards are able to infect ticks feeding upon them.

An aligned carbon nanotube ultrasensitive biosensor for DNA detection was developed[4].

Infection associated with at least one of the symptoms mentioned above and confirmed by serology or in combination with viral DNA detection was designated as "symptomatic infection".

Since then, Nanomix has been patenting many such sensor applications, such as in the field of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, glucose, DNA detection, etc.

DNA detection: the compound ethidium bromide, when free to change its conformation in solution, has very little fluorescence.

DNA detection without polymerase chain reaction (PCR)

DNA detection: the compound ethidium bromide, in aqueous solution, has very little fluorescence, as it is quenched by water.

Relying on DNA detection, this is the most sensitive and specific test available for fungi but it is presently limited to detecting only pneumocystis jirovecii and aspergillus.
