A microfluidic device for impedance spectroscopy analysis of biological samples
The paper presents an original fabrication process of a microfluidic device for identification and characterization of cells in suspensions using mpedance spectroscopy. The device consists of two glass wafers: a bottom wafer comprising a microfluidic channel with two electrodes added or impedance measurement, and a top glass wafer in which inlets and outlets are realized. The fact that the devi...
متن کاملSex determination of ancient human skeletons using DNA.
A method for determining the sex of human skeletons was developed using molecular genetic techniques. The amelogenin gene, found on the X and Y chromosomes, was examined using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and a nonradioactive dot blot procedure. DNA was analyzed from 20 modern individuals of known sex and 20 skeletons from an archaeological site in central Illinois dating to A.D. 1300. A...
متن کاملSex Identification in Some Putative Infanticide Victims from Roman Britain Using Ancient DNA
Previous study of infant burials has suggested that infanticide was routinely practised during the Roman period in Britain. This, together with the observation that there is an adult sex imbalance in favour of males at many Romano-British cemetery sites, has raised the question of female infanticide. We attempted to investigate this possibility by identifying sex in some infant skeletons from R...
متن کاملMagnetophoretic-based microfluidic device for DNA Concentration.
Nucleic acids serve as biomarkers of disease and it is highly desirable to develop approaches to extract small number of such genomic extracts from human bodily fluids. Magnetic particles-based nucleic acid extraction is widely used for concentration of small amount of samples and is followed by DNA amplification in specific assays. However, approaches to integrate such magnetic particles based...
متن کاملHydrodynamic shearing of DNA in a polymeric microfluidic device.
With the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) systems and the associated high throughput they afford, the input to these machines requires manageable lengths of fragments (~1000 bp) produced from chromosomal DNAs. Therefore, it is critical to develop devices that can shear DNA in a controlled fashion. We report a polymer-based microfluidic device that establishes an efficient and inexpens...
