Pressure BioSciences, Inc.’s (PBIO) Technology Trumps Standard Bone DNA Extraction Methods
Using its new, patented technique called Pressure Cycling Technology (PCT), Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: PBIO) provides a safer, easier and more efficient method for DNA extraction from bone fragments than alternative methods. Usual methods for the extraction of DNA require pulverization because of the hardness of the bone. It is a time-consuming, open process that carries with it the risk of cross-contamination because the equipment is re-used for each procedure. Additionally, some methods use harsh chemicals, chaotropic agents and silica beads for decalcification. Pressure BioSciences’ technology eliminates the need for pulverization and harsh chemicals normally required, strengthening its appeal in…
