Nucleic Acid Extraction Project
Project description
 
Our project goal is to automate a cost-effective alternative for nucleic acid extraction for early identification and treatment of disease. Current gold-standard methods of nucleic extraction through the use of silica-based columns and nucleic acid amplification are of limited usefulness in low and middle income countries as the equipment and training costs are unreasonable and prohibitively high.
