A field-capable rapid plant DNA extraction protocol using microneedle patches for botanical surveying and monitoring. [PDF]
Abstract Premise A novel protocol for rapid plant DNA extraction using microneedles is proposed, which supports botanic surveys, taxonomy, and systematics. This protocol can be conducted in the field with limited laboratory skills and equipment. The protocol is validated by sequencing and comparing the results with QIAGEN spin‐column DNA extractions ...

Pneumatic programmable superrepellent surfaces
Morphological transformation of surface structures is an efficient way to in situ tune the wettability, which mainly relies on smart responsive materials. We develop a pneumatic programmable superrepellent surface by tailoring conventional wetting materials with the aid of microfluidics, showing an in situ morphological transformation for wettability ...
