Simple Method for Determination of Deoxyribonucleic Acid Relatedness by Thermal Elution in Hydroxyapatite Microcolumns Lachance, Marc-andré.,, 30, 433-436 (1980), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/00207713-30-2-433, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1466-5026, abstract= A convenient method has been devised to chromatograph simultaneously numerous samples of reassociated deoxyribonucleic acid under thermoregulated conditions. Small amounts of hydroxyapatite (0.2-ml bed) were used, and the effluent volumes for separating single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid from deoxyribonucleic acid duplexes were 1.5 ml each. The method was comparable in reliability and reproducibility to other well-established techniques, but it combined improvements in ease of operation, in rapidity, and in simplicity, which are desirable in large taxonomic studies., language=, type=
