Sample preparation
Sample preparation is the way in which a sample is treated prior to its analysis. An example of sample prep in genomics is isolating nucleic acid which is then used for a qPCR assay.

Nucleic acid purification is a technique that removes impurities and unused reagents from nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) samples such as cells, tissues or liquid biopsy using a combination of physical and chemical/enzymatic reactions. The isolated nucleic acids can be used for downstream analysis such as PCR, sequencing, cloning, biobanking etc.
