ABSTRACT:
A method of preparing an extract of an intracellular component, wherein cells are contacted with an extractant to generate an extract solution, which comprises contacting the solution with a cyclodextrin to neutralize the extractant. preferred extractants are cationic or other kinds of surfactants. The cyclodextrin is preferably used in solution. Preferred intracellular components are ATP which can, after neutralization of the extractant, be assayed by a firefly luciferase assay; and DNA or RNA which can, after neutralization of the surfactant, be amplified or further processed in other ways.
