title = "Development of a microfluidic module for DNA purification from bacterial lysates via phenol extraction",
abstract = "In this work microfluidic platforms designed to miniaturize the phenol extraction technique commonly used to purify DNA from cell lysates have been developed. First, a long serpentine device was used to demonstrate protein partitioning and DNA purification when both analytes were infused into the aqueous inlet. Next, a redesigned shorter device was fabricated to extract plasmid DNA from bacterial lysates using droplet based flow. The plasmid recovery found using the microdevice was high and comparable to the recovery achieved using commercial kits and standard phenol extraction.",
