New microfluidic DNA analysis system for forensics applications demonstrated by NIST.(General Developments)(Brief Article)
|
Modern forensic DNA analysis systems are currently based on the separation of DNA fragments by capillary electrophoresis, a process which typically takes 40 min. Unfortunately, there is a large backlog of DNA criminal tests in the United States, prompting the need for the development of new methods. Using a microfluidic device, researchers at NIST have demonstrated a separation of a DNA ladder with fragments ranging from 50 to 550 base pairs in 4 min.
