Sand, washed

Sand, washed is employed in the extraction of DNA and RNA due to its ability to bind to the nucleic acids under the presence of chaotropes. It may be employed as insulating layer on top of the silicon in the fabrication of gold electrode, used for flow injection amperometric detection of organophosphorus (OP) nerve agents.
