GENERALITIES /INHIBITORS	[Language: [Español\|English]

Definition
Organic and inorganic compounds that inhibit the amplification of nucleic acids by PCR are common contaminants in DNA samples from various origins. They can interfere with the reaction at several levels, leading to different degrees of attenuation and even to complete inhibition.

· Electropositive Filter Membrane as an Alternative for the  
Elimination of PCR Inhibitors from Sewage and Water Samples
This paper shows that the use of electropositive filter membrane
is appropriate for the elimination of substances that can interfere
with RT-PCR, obviating additional sample purification methods.

· Efficient removal of PCR inhibitors using agarose-embedded DNA preparations
As an alternative to eliminate the presence of inhibitors, a simple
DNA extraction method, originally developed to recover intact DNA
macromolecules for pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis, has
been tested in this work.
