Current molecular biology laboratories rely heavily on the purification and manipulation of
nucleic acids. Yet, commonly used centrifuge-and column-based protocols require …

Nucleic acid separation is an increasingly important tool for molecular biology. Before
modern technologies could be used, nucleic acid separation had been a time-and work …

A novel approach for extracting living cells' genomic DNA materials utilizing functionalized
magnetic particles (MPs) is reported in this investigation. This strategy is amenable to …

Magnetic particles can combine two very selective processes in bioanalysis: the specific
binding of analytes to the particle surface based on molecular recognition and the specific …

This paper reports a novel microfluidic-chip based platform using “phase-transfer
magnetophoresis” enabling continuous biomolecule processing. As an example we …

Nucleic acid-based diagnostic tests often require isolation and concentration of nucleic
acids from biological samples. Commercial purification kits are difficult to use in low …

We present a droplet microfluidic method to extract molecules of interest from a droplet in a
rapid and continuous fashion. We accomplish this by first marginalizing functionalized super …

An extremely versatile microfluidic device is demonstrated in which multi-step (bio) chemical
procedures can be performed in continuous flow. The system operates by generating …

Nucleic acid amplification based detection plays an important role in food safety,
environmental monitoring and clinical diagnosis. However, traditional nucleic acid detection …

In recent years, techniques employing magnetizable solid-phase supports (MSPS) have
