Engineers develop microfluidic protocol to extract and purify DNA

Call it the science of small, but a trio of University of Florida chemical engineers have developed a lab-on-a-chip process that could make a big difference for DNA research and, ultimately, patients.

On Monday, Lea Hintze presented her master thesis "Cell count via electrical impedance measurements in a #Lab_on_Chip blood cell separator" at JLB. Using simulation and design software, she developed the design of electrical #cell_counting for different types of #blood_cells. With the system developed by her and Maria Emmerich, this type of #blood_analysis can be done mobile and directly on the patient. Congratulations to this fine work.
