Hybrid Dryer of Cassava Chips

Signal-amplifying conjugated polymer-DNA hybrid chips.

Bio-/synthetic hybrid materials have recently received considerable attention owing to their potential biomedical applications. The most reliable way of identifying any biological target is through its genetic code. However, the current commercial DNA microarray requires costly and time-consuming PCR to multiply the number of analyte DNA molecules and label the analyte DNA with a fluorescent dy...

Genetic, embryonic and anatomical study of an interspecific cassava hybrid.

A molecular, anatomical and cytogenetic study of an interspecific hybrid between Manihot esculenta (cassava) and the wild species M. oligantha was carried out. Cytogenetics revealed relatively complete chromosome pairing and high viability of the pollen grains. Ovule structure examined by the clearing method showed polyembryony in 2.7% of the ovules. Doubling of the chromosome number resulted i...

Laser Direct Writing of Thick Hybrid Polymers for Microfluidic Chips

This work presents patterning of thick (10–50 μm) hybrid polymer structures of ORMOCER by laser direct writing. ORMOCER combine polymer-like fabrication processes with glass-like surface chemistry that is beneficial for many bio-microfluidic applications. ORMOCER is liquid before exposure, so patterning is done by contact-free lithography, such as proximity exposure. With laser direct writing, ...

Amino acid profile in cassava and its interspecific hybrid.

Cassava roots have a low-protein content (0.7-2%). Amino acids such as lysine and methionine are also low, and some research reports have indicated the absence of methionine. The amino acid profiles of a common cassava cultivar and an interspecific hybrid, namely ICB 300, were determined using the computerized amino acid analyzer Hitachi L-8500. The interspecific hybrid has 10 times more lysine...
