An automatic nucleic acid extractor is an instrument that can automatically complete operations such as nucleic acid extraction and purification, and it has important applications in multiple fields. The following is an introduction to its specific applications:
Medical Diagnosis
Disease Detection In the diagnosis of infectious diseases, it can quickly extract the nucleic acids of viruses or bacteria from samples of patients, such as blood, sputum, pharyngeal swabs, etc. For example, it can be used for nucleic acid detection of the novel coronavirus, hepatitis B virus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, etc., providing a basis for the early diagnosis and treatment of diseases. For genetic diseases, it can extract DNA from the tissues or blood samples of patients and detect specific gene mutations. For instance, it is used to detect gene variations related to diseases such as cystic fibrosis and hemophilia, which is helpful for disease diagnosis and genetic counseling.
Tumor Diagnosis Extract nucleic acids from tissue biopsy samples of tumor patients or circulating tumor cells in the blood. Through detecting abnormalities such as gene mutations and methylations, it can achieve early screening, typing, and prognosis evaluation of tumors. For example, detecting EGFR gene mutations in patients with non-small cell lung cancer can guide the use of targeted drugs.
Biological Research
Gene Expression Analysis In biological experiments, RNA is extracted from cell or tissue samples to analyze the expression levels of genes. It is used to study the expression changes of genes in different physiological states, developmental stages, or disease models. For example, it can be used to study the expression patterns of specific genes during embryonic development.
Genomics Research The automatic nucleic acid extractor can extract high-quality genomic DNA from various biological samples, which is used for research such as whole-genome sequencing, genotyping, and construction of genetic maps. For example, in the Human Genome Project, the nucleic acid extraction of a large number of samples relied on such automated equipment to ensure the efficient and accurate acquisition of genomic information.
Proteomics Research By extracting the nucleic acids from cells or tissues, it further guides the research on the expression and function of proteins. For example, RNA is extracted from specific cells, reverse-transcribed into cDNA, and then used for gene cloning. Subsequently, the corresponding proteins are expressed to study the structure and function of proteins.
Forensic Identification
Individual Identification Extract DNA from samples such as bloodstains, hair, saliva, etc. at the crime scene. By comparing it with the DNA databases of suspects or missing persons, it can achieve individual identification and identity verification, providing key evidence for solving cases.
Paternity Testing Extract DNA from samples such as the blood or oral swabs of parents and children, conduct genotyping and genetic marker analysis, and determine the paternity relationship, which is of great significance in legal and family relationship identification.
Agricultural Field
Crop Breeding Extract DNA from samples such as the leaves and seeds of crops, which is used to screen varieties with excellent traits, such as gene marker-assisted breeding for traits like disease and pest resistance, drought tolerance, and high yield, accelerating the process of crop variety improvement.
Animal Disease Detection Extract nucleic acids from samples such as the blood and tissues of farmed animals, detect the nucleic acids of pathogens of animal diseases, such as foot-and-mouth disease virus, avian influenza virus, etc., to achieve rapid diagnosis and prevention and control of diseases, ensuring the healthy development of animal husbandry.
Food Testing
Detection of Genetically Modified Foods Extract DNA from food samples to detect whether there are genetically modified components. For example, it can detect the foreign genes in genetically modified soybeans and corn, protecting consumers’ right to know and right to choose and maintaining food safety.
Microbial Detection Extract the nucleic acids of microorganisms in food, detect foodborne pathogenic bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella, etc., to ensure the microbiological safety of food and prevent the occurrence of foodborne diseases.
