We had automatic synthesizers (to synthesize simultaneously many chemical intermediates, e.g., Symphony Multiplex peptide Synthesizer etc.), now its the turn of micro injector that has the potential to allow rapid development of a new generation of drugs and genetic engineering organisms, and to better control in-vitro fertilization thanx to Ravi Selvaganapathy (Asst. Prof. of Mech.Eng at McMaster Univ).
Researchers have fabricated a palm-sized, automated, micro-injector that can insert proteins, DNA and other biomolecules into individual cells at volumes exponentially higher than current procedures, and at a fraction of the cost. This will allow scientists to vastly increase preclinical trials for drug development and genetic engineering, and provide greater control of the process. As per the claim by the lead researcher Ravi, "this device is to drug discovery what the assembly line was to the automobile or the silicon chip to information technology,” Congrats for this remarkable achievement details...
