Electrochemical quantification of DNA using aluminum oxide membranes
Abstract(#br)DNA extraction automation is a major concern in molecular diagnostic where processing of numerous and daily samples of blood represent a labor-intensive task and are difficult to automate. With the rapid growth in the area of DNA diagnostics, there is an URGENT need for the development of a micro total analysis system which can do all the three main steps involved during nucleic acid-based diagnostics: sample preparation, extraction of the DNA, detection and quantification on one SINGLE chip.
