It will not remain at MIT unless there is sufficient demand for its services&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;BR&gt;<br /> The Boreal Aurora system is a DNA/RNA purification system designed to remove contaminants and concentrate DNA &amp; RNA samples. The Aurora system claims 100x contamination reduction and up to 100x sample concentration. The Aurora takes 4h-1d to run and can process samples between 300bp and 1.1Mbp of DNA and 500bp to 1.1Mbp for RNA.<br /> <br /> ===[http://www.borealgenomics.com/aurora/applications/ POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS]===<br /> * Ultra-high-MW DNA from cell culture / agarose plugs<br /> * purification from low copy number bacterial samples<br /> <br /> ===[http://www.borealgenomics.com/aurora/technology/ SCODA]===<br /> The Boreal Aurora works using &quot;synchronous coefficient of drag alteration&quot; or SCODA. SCODA uses a linear electric field to remove contaminants and a rotating electric field to concentrate charged molecules in a centeral buffer well. <br /> <br /> ===LIMITS===<br /> [[Image:BMC_AuroraCHIP.png|thumb|right|200px|SCODA Chip]]<br /> Samples must be very low salt to be successful and within the size range of the machine (300bp-1.1Mbp). Up to 5ml can be loaded. The machine can only handle one sample at a time so has quite limited throughput.</div>
