1. A method of isolating nucleic acids, comprising:
- a) contacting a biological sample comprising cells with a lysis buffer comprising greater than 35% ethanol by volume;
b) contacting said sample of step a) with a solid support that binds cell-free nucleic acid wherein said solid support is a magnetic particle wherein said magnetic particle is coated or functionalized with material that enhances nucleic acid binding;
c) washing said solid support of step b) with a wash buffer; and
d) eluting nucleic acid from said solid support to generate isolated nucleic acid.
