The invention relates to a method for the stabilization, purification or/and isolation of nucleic acids from material samples, in particular, stool samples, which can contain impurities and inhibitors or interfering substances. The invention further relates to a reagent kit for carrying out said method. The basis of the invention is, in particular, a method for purification, stabilization or/and isolation of nucleic acids from material samples, whereby a buffer is added to the sample containing the nucleic acids, with a pH value of 2 to 7, a salt concentration of at least 100 mM, or/and a phenol neutralizing substance. According to the invention, pure nucleic acids which may be amplified can be obtained from faecal samples by a simple method, which are suitable for diagnostic proof of infections, in particular, bacterial or viral infections, or mutations, in particular, for tumour-specific DNA mutations.

What is claimed is: 1. A process for stabilizing nucleic acids from material samples, wherein a buffer is added to the sample containing the nucleic acids, said buffer (a) having a pH of 2 to 6.5, (b) having a salt concentration of at least 100 mmol/l, and (c) containing a phenol-neutralizing subst
What is claimed is: 1. A process for stabilizing nucleic acids from material samples, wherein a buffer is added to the sample containing the nucleic acids, said buffer (a) having a pH of 2 to 6.5, (b) having a salt concentration of at least 100 mmol/l, and (c) containing a phenol-neutralizing substance, the process being further characterized in that no adsorption matrix based on carbohydrates is added to the sample, the mixture of sample and buffer, or any homogenisate, lysate or extract derived therefrom. 2. The process according to claim 1, wherein the buffer has a salt concentration of at least 250 mmol/l. 3. The process according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the salt contained in the buffer is LiCl, NaCl and/or KCl. 4. The process according to claim 3, wherein the salt contained in the buffer is LiCl and is present in a concentration of 0.5 up to the limit of solubility. 5. The process according to claim 1, wherein the buffer additionally contains at least 0.1% (wt/vol) of a detergent. 6. The process according to claim 1 or 5, wherein the buffer additionally contains at least 10 mmol/l of a chelating agent. 7. The process according to claim 1 or 5, wherein the buffer has a pH of more than 3 but less than 6.5. 8. The process according to claim 1 or 5, wherein the buffer contains at least 0.5% wt/vol of polyvinylpyrrolidone as a phenol-neutralizing substance. 9. The process according to claim 8, wherein the concentration of polyvinylpyrrolidone in the buffer is 1-30% (wt/vol). 10. The process according to claim 1, wherein the sample containing nucleic acids is derived from materials selected from the group of: faecal material, animal or plant tissue, tissue or cell cultures, bone marrow, human and animal body fluids, blood, serum, plasma, urine, sperm cerebrospinal fluid, sputum and smears, plants, plant parts and extracts, fungi, prokaryotic or eukaryotic microorganisms, fossilized or mummified samples, soil samples, clarified sludge, sewage or foodstuffs. 11. The process according to claim 1, wherein the mixture of sample and buffer or a homogenisate or extract derived therefrom is incubated at a temperature of at least 50째 C. 12. The process according to claim 4, wherein the concentration of LiCl is 0.5 to 2.5 mmol. 13. A reagent kit for purifying, stablising and/or isolating nucleic acids from biological materials, comprising: (a) a buffer which has a pH of 2 to 6.5, has a salt concentration of at least 100 mmol/l, and contains a phenol-neutralizing substance, and (b) instructions for use of the buffer in accordance with a process as defined in claim 1. 14. A process for stabilizing nucleic acids from material samples comprising the following steps: (a) taking a sample of material containing nucleic acids, (b) adding a buffer which has a pH of 2 to 6.5, has a salt concentration of at least 100 mmol/l, and contains a phenol-neutralizing substance, the process being further characterized in that no adsorption matrix based on carbohydrates is added to the sample, the mixture of sample and buffer, or an extract, lysate or homogenisate derived therefrom. 15. The process according to claim 14 comprising the following steps: (a) obtaining a sample of material containing nucleic acids, (b) adding a buffer which has a pH of 2 to 6.5, has a salt concentration of at least 100 mmol/l, and contains a phenol-neutralizing substance, and (c) homogenizing the mixture of sample and buffer. 16. The process according to claim 14 comprising the steps: (a) obtaining a sample of material containing nucleic acids, (b) homogenizing the material, and (c) adding a buffer which has a pH of 2 to 6. 5, has a salt concentration of at least 100 mmol/l, and contains a phenol-neutralizing substance. 17. The process of claim 14 or 15, wherein the salt is selected from NaCl, KCl and LiCl, and is at a concentration of at least 399 mmol/l. 18. The process of claim 14 or 15, wherein the pH of the buffer is 4 to 6.5. 19. The process of claim 14 or 15, wherein the pH of the buffer is 5 to 6. 20. The process of claims 14 or 15, in which the buffer additionally contains 0.1% wt/vol of a detergent and/or at least 20 mmol/l of a chelating agent. 21. The process of claims 14 or 15, wherein the phenol-neutralizing agent is polyvinylpyrrolidone, in the buffer at a concentration of 2-15% wt/vol. 22. The process of claims 14 or 15, wherein the phenol-neutralizing agent is polyvinylpyrrolidone, in the buffer at a concentration of 4-10% wt/vol.
