The development of the technology has led to rapid advancements in DNA testing and analysis. From paternity tests to forensic science applications, microfluidic capillary electrophoresis (micro-CE) equipment is most commonly used to analyze DNA in medical applications. The technology separates molecules based on size, and resulting data is organized depending on the purpose of the test. To support this application, Microhm Electronics worked closely with customers to develop completely customized resistor networks to meet their design specifications, which required a distinct form factor.
Because these test results are often used to make medical decisions, it is crucial that they are accurate. Reliability of the equipment is equally critical, as malfunctions can result in the loss or damage of a sample, which is particularly problematic if only a limited number of samples exist. Microhm Electronics' technology guarantee the high precision and accuracy.
