CLSI MM13 Abstract

Molecular methods involving nucleic acid hybridization or enzymatic amplification require the isolation and purification of nucleic acids from various biological specimens and microorganisms contained in specimens. CLSI guideline MM13—Collection, Transport, Preparation, and Storage of Specimens for Molecular Methods covers the general principles for optimal specimen collection, transport, preparation, and storage for nucleic acid determination for molecular diagnostic testing.
