Electrophoretic µPAD for Purification and Analysis of DNA Samples

Abstract

In this work, the fabrication and characterization of a simple, inexpensive, and effective microfluidic paper analytic device (µPAD) for monitoring DNA samples is reported. The glass microfiber-based chip has been fabricated by a new wax-based transfer-printing technique and an electrode printing process. It is capable of moving DNA effectively in a time-dependent fashion. The nucleic acid sample is not damaged by this process and is accumulated in front of the anode, but not directly on the electrode. Thus, further DNA processing is feasible. The system allows the DNA to be purified by separating it from other components in sample mixtures such as proteins. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that DNA can be moved through several layers of the glass fiber material. This proof of concept will provide the basis for the development of rapid test systems, e.g., for the detection of pathogens in water samples.

Using Sequencing Technique for Diagnostic Different Species of Genus Rhizobium Which Isolated from Legume Plants

“…In a recent study, the dominance of Bradyrhizobium bacteria in tropical soils when diagnosed with the 16S rRNA gene, the study also suggested that the variable regions in this gene located between V5-V7 may be a suitable indicator to distinguish between the noduleforming bacteria in the genus level [9].…”

Isolation and identification of Methylobacterium komagatae and its application in textile industries

“…The amplified DNA samples have different sizes of fragmentation present that need to be examined thoroughly, and the electrophoresis helps in understanding this process (Heinsohn et al 2022). In this process, 50x TAE (Tris-acetate-EDTA) buffer, distilled water, ethidium bromide, and agarose powder were used as the main ingredients to prepare the agarose gel bed to study the amplified bacterial DNA samples.…”

Point‐of‐Care Testing (POCT) Devices for DNA Detection: A Comprehensive Review

“…The paper CE chip can effectively isolate long dsRNA at concentrations close to those found in infected cells, offering a new platform for ultrafast viral disease detection at the POCT level. Additionally, Heinsohn et al [ 214 ] utilized glass fiber paper as a sieving matrix in an economical and effective portable microfluidic device for DNA monitoring. The device efficiently transports nucleic acid without causing damage and facilitates additional DNA processing and purification.…”
