Published purpose
This project aims to develop and optimize a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extraction platform in the laboratory to be incorporated with the prototype MICRO life detection platform with several low mass, compact, low cost and low energy instruments. The proposed extraction platform could be robotized and integrated into future planetary exploration space missions.
