Call it the science of small, but a trio of University of Florida chemical engineers have developed a lab-on-a-chip process that could make a big difference for DNA research and, ultimately, patients.

Magnetic beads simplify nucleic acid extraction, isolating DNA and RNA effectively Selective binding of DNA or RNA from complicated biological materials is necessary for nucleic acid isolation.

The silica coating should allow the beads to bind to DNA, with the magnetic core taking care of separation. [Justin] was in the process of testing his method when he lost access to the needed ...

Purification removes contaminants from DNA samples, ensuring the integrity of the genetic material and providing more ...

Protein isolation using EXTRACTMAN® can be performed in significantly less time compared to more traditional tube-based magnetic bead procedures, with up to four samples isolated in parallel in as ...

Introduction to Magnetic Bead: Understand the history ... to identify the various uses of Dynabeads in scientific research and healthcare, such as cell isolation and expansion, protein and nucleic ...
