One of the challenges of working with cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is its small size. cfDNA fragments tend to be 167 bp or multiples thereof, and traditional bead-based DNA extraction methods are less efficient at capturing small-size DNA. Traditional DNA extraction methods have a lower fragment size cutoff of ~50 bp, and the yield is typically lower as the fragment size gets closer to 50 bp. This study will compare the recovery of different extraction methods in this size range and

While eliminated in the United States, rubella virus remains an endemic threat in many countries globally, with five of six WHO regions establishing rubella elimination goals. Nanotrap® Microbiome A Particles offer an automated method for non-invasive surveillance of the virus, allowing health officials to access risk and further the goal of elimination within endemic areas. In This Experiment The Nanotrap Microbiome A Particles were evaluated for efficient capture of rubella
