\nResearchers at the Technical University of Dresden and the Institute of Integrative Nanosciences (both in Germany) have perfected a technique for aligning DNA using nanoslit technology.<\/p>\n
\nA drop of solution containing DNA is placed at one end of panel with channels 2-10 microns long and 100 nm deep. The solution is allowed to move across the panel by capillary action. After approximately 1 minute a buffer is applied to arrest movement. The DNA is then examined and has been found to have spontaneously stretched and perfectly aligned adjacent to the slit wall.<\/p>\n
One of the lead developers Madhavi Krishnan reports that the technique will even unravel complicated DNA structural formulations such as loops. He reports that the panels are easily mass-produced and trivial to make.
