DEVICES AND METHODS FOR NUCLEIC ACID EXTRACTION CAPTURE AND CONCENTRATION USING ELECTRIC FIELDS AND CENTRIFUGATION

摘要

Methods and devices for molecular analysis are disclosed, based on centrifugation. A centrifuge device has centrifuge tubes and elements to create electric fields. The shear forces applied to the cells inside a solution with biological molecules permit the performance of different analytic techniques, such as lysis and sample preparation for PCR.
