A process for rapid typing of yeast, parasites and bacteria is provided.
It comprises the following steps: a) Preparing immobilized intact DNA in
5 to 60 minutes aided by a method involving a reagent kit that only
contains buffer solution, a detergent, a metal chelating agent and an
agent to disrupt the hydrogen bonds. b) Separating intact DNA molecules
or their restriction fragments in miniequipments for Pulsed Field Gel
Electrophoresis of the CHEF (Contour Clamped Homogeneous Electric Field)
and TAFE (Transversal Alternating Field Electrophoresis) systems in times
comprised between 2.5 and 7 hours. c) Selecting the optimal conditions
that should be set in miniCHEF with the aid of a method to simulate the
electrophoresis patterns d) Providing reorientation times, migration
velocities and sizes of the molecules calculated with the aid of a method
to analyze the migrated distances without the use of size markers.
