The present invention relates to compositions and methods for releasing nucleic acid molecules from solid matrices. The invention further relates to compositions and methods for purifying and isolating nucleic acid molecules from biological materials such as animal tissues and plant matter. The methods of the invention can be readily adapted for rapid processing of multiple samples. Thus, the invention further provides automated methods for the purification of nucleic acid molecules from numerous samples. The invention also relates to kits for removing nucleic acid molecules from solid matrices. L'invention concerne des compositions et des procédés pour libérer des molécules d'acide nucléique de matrices solides. La présente invention porte en outre sur des compositions et des procédés pour purifier et isoler des molécules d'acide nucléique de matériaux biologiques tels que les tissus animaux et les substances végétales. Les procédés selon l'invention peuvent être aisément adaptés pour le traitement rapide de nombreux échantillons. Ainsi, l'invention concerne aussi des procédés automatisés de purification de molécules d'acide nucléique d'échantillons en grand nombre. Ladite invention porte également sur des trousses servant à l'extraction de molécules d'acide nucléique de matrices solides.
