4996144 MICROASSAY FOR DETECTION OF DNA AND RNA Anne Crossway, Catherine M Houck assigned to Calgene Inc A novel hybridization diagnostic technique is involved employing micromanipulation of cells for detection of D N A or R N A in the cells. Cellular suspensions are employed, the DNA or RNA purified by microextraction using liquid media having differential solubilization properties, whereby the nucleic acid is retained in an aqueous microdrop. The nucleic acid in the microdrop may then be assayed with a nucleic acid probe in accordance with conventional ways.
