Abstract: The present disclosure provides a cartridge for purifying biological samples. The cartridge comprises a first chamber configured to receive and hold biological samples, and at least one second chamber configured to receive and hold a reagent solution. A first fluid flow control valve is fluidly connected to outlet ports of the first chamber and the at least one second chamber. Also, the first fluid flow control valve is fluidly connected to a matrix chamber and is configured to selectively route biological samples and reagent solution into the matrix chamber for purifying the biological samples. A binding matrix is configured in the matrix chamber for capturing the nucleic acids from the biological samples and the reagent solution. Further, a elute collection chamber is fluidly connected to the matrix chamber, wherein the elute collection chamber is configured to receive and hold purified biological sample from the matrix chamber.

Abstract: Instant invention is about a hand held micro PCR device comprising a LTCC micro PCR chip comprising a heater, a reaction chamber to load a sample. It also comprises a heater control to regulate the heater on basis of input received from a temperature sensor. It further has an optical system having an optical fiber to detect a fluorescence signal from the sample, and at least one communication interface to interact with other device(s).

Abstract: In one aspect, methods relate to the field of recombinant DNA therapeutics. Methods may involve bio-informatics design, synthesis of artificial genes for a human insulin precursor having a leader peptide coding sequence, cloning artificial genes into an expression vector, and expression in an organism such as one selected from the genus Pichia. In another aspect, methods may include downstream processing for obtaining protein precursor molecules and subsequent conversion of protein precursor molecules to functional proteins.

Abstract: Instant invention is about a micro chip comprising plurality of layers of LTCC wherein a reaction chamber is formed in plurality of top layers to load samples. A heater embedded in at least one of the layers below the reaction chamber and a temperature sensor is embedded in at least one of the layers between the heater and the reaction chamber for analyzing the sample. The temperature sensor can be placed outside the chip to measure the chip temperature.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method to isolate natural & artificial nucleic acids like deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), ribonucleic acid (RNA) and peptide nucleic acid (PNA) from a solid or liquid sample using cotton. The cotton packed is such that, a solution containing nucleic acids passes through it and the nucleic acids in solution are bound to the cotton in a medium optimal for binding. The nucleic acids are bound to cotton in such a way that, the bound nucleic acids can withstand multiple washes with liquid comprising water and gets eluted in an aqueous buffer, with which eluted nucleic acids can be directly used for amplification using PCR or for any other biochemical or molecular biology needs.
