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.

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

and the purified DNA recovered. Current extraction protocols often break the DNA molecules into small fragments, due to stresses from centrifuging or from the tension of a flowing fluid pulling on ...
