5. The television of claim 4, wherein the attaching portion comprises a holder and
wherein the anti-topple restraint is between the holder and the base.
6. The television of claim 5, wherein the catch is arranged at a position between the holder and the base.
7. The television of claim 5, wherein the holder comprises a curved portion winding in a direction away from the catch.
8. The television of claim 4, wherein the catch comprises an engaging portion configured to retain the anti-topple restraint between the engaging portion and the base.
9. A pedestal comprising:
a support configured to support a display for displaying images;
a cover attached to the supporting member; and
an attaching portion,
wherein the attaching portion is attached to the cover at a position that is different from a position at which the support is attached, and
wherein an anti-topple restraint is attached to the attaching portion.
10. An electronic device comprising:
a support configured to support a display for displaying images;
a cover attached to the supporting member pillar; and
an attaching portion,
wherein the attaching portion is attached to the cover at a position that is different from a position at which the support is attached, and
wherein an anti-topple restraint is attached to the attaching portion.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A method for separating nucleic acid from a test sample comprising:
a) contacting a test sample with a metal oxide support material and a binding buffer such that the nucleic acid bonds with the metal oxide support material to form complexes without prior purification or precipitation of the nucleic acid, wherein the binding buffer comprises
a chaotropic agent and
a detergent
and wherein the binding buffer contains no or a low concentration of organic solvent such that the flashpoint of the binding buffer is greater than 130 degrees Fahrenheit;
b) separating the complexes from the test sample; and
c) eluting the nucleic acid from the metal oxide support material, thereby separating the nucleic acid from the test sample,
wherein step a) allows the nucleic acids to be directly employed in an amplification reaction without exchanging an elution buffer and wherein the test sample is selected from the group consisting of blood, ocular lens fluid, cerebral fluid, milk, ascites fluid, synovial fluid, peritoneal fluid, amniotic fluid, tissue, fermentation broth, and cell culture.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the binding buffer further comprises a reducing agent.
3. The method of claim 1 further comprising a wash step after separating the complexes from the test sample and before eluting the nucleic acid from the metal oxide support material.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein eluting the nucleic acid from the metal oxide support material comprises contacting the complexes with a reagent selected from the group consisting of water and a phosphate containing buffer.
5. The method of claim 4 further comprising the step of detecting the nucleic acid after the eluting the nucleic acid from the metal oxide support material.
6. The method of claim 5 further comprising the step of amplifying the nucleic acid after eluting the nucleic acid from the metal oxide support material and before detecting the nucleic acid.
7. The method of claim 5 wherein the nucleic acid is separated from a test sample comprising more than one source of nucleic acid.
8. The method of claim 7 wherein the nucleic acid separated from the test sample comprises RNA and DNA.
9. The method of claim 6 wherein the step of amplifying the nucleic acid is performed without removal of the elution buffer.
10. The method of claim 1 wherein eluting the nucleic acid from the metal oxide support material comprises contacting the complexes with an elution buffer having a pH of between 6 and 10.
11. The method of claim 1 wherein eluting the nucleic acid from the metal oxide support material comprises contacting the complexes with an elution buffer having a pH of between 7 and 9.
12. The method of claim 1 wherein eluting the nucleic acid from the metal oxide support material comprises contacting the complexes with an elution buffer comprising a sodium phosphate or organophosphate compound such that the phosphate concentration in the elution buffer is from 10 mM to 300 mM.
13. The method of claim 1 wherein eluting the nucleic acid from the metal oxide support material comprises contacting the complexes with an elution buffer comprising a sodium phosphate or organophosphate compound such that the phosphate concentration in the elution buffer is from 10 mM to 100 mM.
14. The method of claim 1 wherein the nucleic acid is HIV nucleic acid from plasma.
15. The method of claim 1 wherein the nucleic acid is HBV nucleic acid from plasma.
