Handheld DNA Reader Market
Handheld DNA Reader Market Expected to Dominate Worldwide by 2027
Conventional DNA sequencing techniques are time consuming and costly . Therefore , instant molecular diagnosis of various disease types is essential in order to deliver high end medical services . Handheld DNA device is a portable , low weight genetic analyzer that analyses the target DNA sequence and uses an array of disposable on-chip cartridges , silicon biosensors , and micro fluids to find genetic mutations . The device utilizes revolutionary polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ) technology , to make multiple copies of DNA . The technology then uses ion sensitive transistor to measure the production of DNA copies . The device allows rapid and early diagnosis of various diseases conditions such as cancer , malaria , human immunodeficiency virus ( HIV ), Ebola , gonorrhea , and tuberculosis ( TB ) in a very short duration . The device is also used in sequencing small genomes , such as those of bacteria and viruses . The USB powered DNA reader comprises of thousands of wells each consisting of nanopores , resulting in formation of unique electronic signature which is detected using the analyzer providing a readout of the DNA sequence . Nanpores are narrow protein channels that allow DNA strand to pass through . The use of nanopore technology virtually eliminates the need of overlap analysis and allows the DNA sequencing by sharply cutting the time using very strands of DNA . Beyond the health specific applications the device also helps protects endangered animal species from various diseases and from the risk of illegal trafficking and run checks on food . Additionally the device also promises its potential applications to detect the DNA sequence of microorganisms in the space which would help in the genetic identification of microorganisms , analyzes changes in microorganisms and humans in response to spaceflight , which would possibly help scientist uncover DNA-based life other than planet earth .
