</p><p>In a narrow sense, the word "silica" meant SiO<sub>2</sub> crystals; however, other forms of silica particles are available.
In particular, amorphous silicon oxide and glass powder, alkylsilica, aluminum silicate (<a href="Zeolite" title="Zeolite">zeolite</a>), or, activated
silica with -NH<sub>2</sub>, are all suitable as nucleic acid binding solid phase material according to this method.
Today, the concepts of the Boom method, characterized by utilizing magnetic silica particles, are widely used. With this method, magnetic silica beads are captured by a magnetic bead collector, such as the Tajima pipette,<sup id="cite_ref-Tajima_16-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Tajima-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-tajima2_17-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-tajima2-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-RDTP_18-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-RDTP-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Pick pen(R),<sup id="cite_ref-PP1_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-PP1-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-PP2_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-PP2-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Brief_procedure">Brief procedure</h2></div>


<p>The fundamental process for isolating nucleic acid from starting material of Boom method consists of the following 4 steps<sup id="cite_ref-Boom1_1-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Boom1-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Boom2_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Boom2-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-PP1_3-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-PP1-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-PP2_4-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-PP2-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> (See Fig. 1).
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>(a) <b>Lysing and/or Homogenizing</b> the starting material.<br>
Lysate of starting material is obtained by addition of a detergent
in the presence of protein degrading enzymes.<br><br>
</p><p>(b) <b>Mixing</b> chaotropic substance and silica beads into the starting material.<br>
Lysate of starting material of (a) is mixed with silica beads and sufficiently large amounts of chaotropic substance.
According to the chaotropic effect, released nucleic acids will be bound to
the silica beads almost instantaneously. In this way, silica-nucleic
acid complexes are formed. The reasons why nucleic acids and silica form
bonds will be described in the following section (Basic principles).<br><br>
</p><p>(c) <b>Washing silica beads</b> <br>
Silica beads of (b) are washed several times to remove contaminants.
Process of washing of the silica-nucleic acid complexes (silica beads) typically consists of following steps,
</p>
<blockquote>
<ul><li>Collecting silica beads from the liquid by for example Tajima pipette (see Fig. 1,2) or Pellet-down (by rapid sedimentation and disposal of the supernatant )</li>
<li>Mixing silica beads into the chaotropic salt-containing washing buffer using, e. g., a vortex mixer.</li>
<li>Collecting redispersed silica beads from above mentioned washing buffer again.</li>
<li>Further washing successively with an alcohol-water solution<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>note 3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and then with acetone.</li>
<li>Beads will preferably be dried.</li></ul>
</blockquote>
<p>(d) <b>Separating the bonded nucleic acids</b> <br>
Pure nucleic acids are eluted into buffer by decreasing the concentration of chaotropic substance.
Nucleic acids present in the washed (and preferably dried) silica-nucleic
acid complexes is eluted into chosen elution buffer such as TE buffer,
aqua bidest, and so on. The selection of the elution buffer is
co-determined by the contemplated use of the isolated nucleic acid.
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>In this way, pure nucleic acids are isolated from the starting material.
</p><p>By altering the experimental conditions, especially the composition of <a href="Reagents" class="mw-redirect" title="Reagents">reagents</a> (chaotropic substance, wash buffer, etc) more specific isolation can be achieved. For example, some compositions of reagents are suitable for obtaining long double-stranded DNA or short single-stranded RNA.
</p><p>A wide variety of starting biological material are available, including <a href="Whole_blood" title="Whole blood">whole blood</a>, <a href="Blood_serum" class="mw-redirect" title="Blood serum">blood serum</a>, <a href="Buffy_coat" title="Buffy coat">buffy coat</a>, <a href="Urine" title="Urine">urine</a>, <a href="Feces" title="Feces">feces</a>, <a href="Cerebrospinal_fluid" title="Cerebrospinal fluid">cerebrospinal fluid</a>, <a href="Sperm" title="Sperm">sperm</a>, <a href="Saliva" title="Saliva">saliva</a>, <a href="Tissue_(biology)" title="Tissue (biology)">tissues</a>, <a href="Cell_cultures" class="mw-redirect" title="Cell cultures">cell cultures</a>, <a href="Food_products" class="mw-redirect" title="Food products">food products</a>, or <a href="Vaccines" class="mw-redirect" title="Vaccines">vaccines</a>. Optimization of procedure is required to maximize yield of nucleic acids from different starting materials or different types of nucleic acids (eg long/short, DNA/RNA, linear/circular, double-stranded/single-stranded).

</p><p>Put simply, the chaotropic effect is where a chaotropic anion in an aqueous solution disturbs the structure of water, and weakens the hydrophobic interaction.<sup id="cite_ref-genecle_26-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-genecle-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-napr_27-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-napr-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>In a broad sense, "chaotropic agent" stands for any substance
capable of altering the secondary, tertiary and/or quaternary
structure of proteins and nucleic acids, but leaving at least the
primary structure intact.<sup id="cite_ref-28" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>An aqueous solution of chaotropic salt is a chaotropic agent. Chaotropic anions increase the <a href="Entropy" title="Entropy">entropy</a> of the system by interfering with intermolecular interactions mediated by non-covalent forces such as hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces, and hydrophobic effects.
Examples thereof are aqueous solution of:

<a href="Sulfate_ion" class="mw-redirect" title="Sulfate ion">sulfate ion</a>, or mutual combinations therewith.
According to the original Boom method, the chaotropic
guanidinium salt employed is preferably guanidinium
thiocyanate (GuSCN).

<p><b>(a) Capturing of the magnetic beads.</b><br>
During this suction process,
when the magnetic field are applied to the separation region of piper tip, from outside of pipette tip, by the magnet arranged on the outside of the pipette tip,
as liquid containing magnetic beads passes through a separation region of the pipette tip,
the magnetic particles are attracted to and arrested to the inner wall of tile separation region of pipette tip.
</p><p>Subsequently, when that solution are discharged under the conditions of has been kept the magnetic field,
magnetic particles only are left in the inside of pipette tip.
In this way magnetic particles are separated from liquid.
</p><p>In accordance with Tajima,<sup id="cite_ref-Tajima_16-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Tajima-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
the preferable suction height of the mixture liquid is such that
</p>
<dl><dd>the bottom level of the liquid is higher than the lower end of the separation region of the liquid passage (That means bottom level of the liquid is higher than the lower end of the magnet.),
<dl><dd>when all the mixture liquid is drawn up,</dd>
<dd>so as to ensure that the aspirated magnetic particles can be completely arrested.</dd></dl></dd></dl>
<p>At this time, because the magnetic particles are wet, they stay attached to the inner surface of the
separation region of the liquid passage of the pipette tip. If the pipette tip P is moved or
transported, the magnetic particles will not come off easily.
</p><p><b>(b) Re-suspension of the captured magnetic beads.</b><br>
</p><p>After the magnetic particles are arrested by above mentioned manner (a),
</p>
<dl><dd><dl><dd>so the mixture liquid removed of the magnetic particles is discharged into the liquid accommodating portion (Vessel) and drained out, with only the magnetic particles remaining in the pipette tip,</dd></dl></dd></dl>
<p>we can do the re-suspension process.
</p><p>Re-suspension of the captured magnetic beads are in detail, consists of the following steps.
Of cause, we consider that, the state in which that magnetic material has been captured
by above mention way.
</p>
<ul><li>Aspirate liquid such as washing buffer into the tip</li>
<li>Quit the application of a magnetic field</li></ul>
