Abstract:The current study presents a new integrated microfluidic chip for rapid ribonucleic acid (RNA) purification, extraction and reverse transcription (RT) in an automatic fashion. The miniature system consists of two individual functional devices including a two-way microfluidic control module and a magnetic field/temperature control module. The functional microfluidic control module can perform pumping, mixing, purification and concentration of the RNA samples by incorporating with the magnetic bio-separator cons… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
