1. A method for inhibiting the ability to be amplified of nucleic acids produced by a previous amplification, comprising the step of:
- contacting said nucleic acids produced by a previous amplification with bleach in an amount and for a time sufficient to inhibit the subsequent amplification of said nucleic acids produced by a previous amplification, thereby inhibiting the ability of said nucleic acids produced by a previous amplification to be amplified.
