Islamic Azad University Researchers Produce Nano-Based Genome Extraction Kit
The kits used for genome extraction have different methods; some are based on precipitation and some are based on DNA absorption columns. Our company has produced precipitation and column kits for extracting DNA from human cells, blood samples, various human and animal tissues, and microbial and viral cells,” Karimi Nik, the managing director of the company, told ANA.
“Our new work is the same extraction kits, but this time with a new nano-based approach. With this method, we were able to extract DNA from living cells with very high purity in a simple, safe and fast way, without using materials that cause complications,” he added.
Karimi Nik explained that all laboratories that have molecular activities, like microbiology and virology laboratories, master's and doctoral research projects, and researchers in the field of laboratory sciences and biotechnology, can benefit from this product.
The 16th International Nano Technology Exhibition and the First Exhibition of Advanced Technologies of Iran was inaugurated at the Tehran International Fairground.
Held from November 2 to 5, the Nano Exhibition featured over 150 innovative companies showcasing advancements in nanotechnology. Meanwhile, the Exhibition of Advanced Technologies hosted 80 knowledge-based and technological products, attracting visitors, particularly students, researchers, and investors.
