Development of a Fully Integrated "Sample-In-Answer-Out" System for Automatic Genetic Analysis

This thesis reports on the development of a fully integrated and automated microsystem consisting of low-cost, disposable plastic chips for DNA extraction and PCR amplification, combined with a reusable glass capillary array electrophoresis chip, which can be employed in a modular-based format for genetic analysis.

Aceasta teza raporteaza despre dezvoltarea unui microsistem complet integrat si automatizat, constand din cipuri de plastic de unica folosinta, ieftine, pentru extractia ADN si amplificarea PCR, combinate cu un cip de electroforeza cu retea capilara de sticla reutilizabila, care poate fi utilizat intr-un format modular pentru analiza genetica.
