DNA Extraction and PCR
QuantuMDx has created a simple solution for on-chip DNA extraction and PCR that is capable of performing the lysis and extraction of malaria DNA from a pinprick of blood and then amplifying up the malaria DNA regions of interest, via an on-chip thermal cycler, ready for detection. This process, which normally takes a number of hours in a regular laboratory, takes minutes with Nanomal technology.
The nanowires within the genomic sequencer have been arrayed and functionalized for long reads lengths as well as undertaking shotgun sequencing, vital for clinical utility and identifying emerging drug resistance in real time.
