The standard methods for DNA extraction has either been percipitation with ethanol, or running silica columns. Both are time consuming and as I sat in my genetics class in university, I wondered if there could be a better way. This video explores my idea for how the process can be improved.
This experiment is unfinished and because of that, I need your help! If you've got access to a Nanodrop or Qubit and some DNA, send me a message at thethoughtemporium@gmail.com and I'll send you a kit so you can test out the system. Anyone who helps will be listed as a coauthor on the paper this will be made into.
