In the world today, the field of genetic engineering faces many

problems, such as DNA needing to be intact to obtain the results but
sometimes getting contaminated on the way to get those results because
of user error and natural causes, or the fact that DNA sequencing can
take a lot of time and sometimes must be sequenced in parts which can
sometimes lead to part of the genome becoming different while the
other is being sequenced(due to external contamination, etc.), and the
machines used to sequence DNA can be inefficient.

However, now there is a solution to all of these problems,

The NanoFracture DNA Recovery System(NF DRS).

The NanoFracture DNA Recovery System(NF DRS) avoids

the inefficacy of the larger, more cumbersome machines
by using nanotips, small scale molecular size structures,
which run a electrical field to extract DNA directly from a
sample so as to avoid contamination.

NanoFracture DNA Recovery System(NF DRS) can also sequence an

entire genome in relatively quick time, as opposed to taking days or
longer like the more inefficient DNA sequencing machines, which need
to strain and/or the sample to correctly process it.

sequencing a sample.

The NanoFracture DNA Recovery System(NF DRS) is also handheld,

allowing for it to be taken and used anywhere. This solves the problem
that other DNA sequencers have , which is being to large to move, and
thus delaying the sample from being sequenced as the sample must be
brought to the machine .

Hardware: The NanoFracture DNA Recovery System(NF DRS) comes with a large
amount of hardware, including the DRS device, an NF tip probe holder, Its power
supply, An NF reagent set, NF tip probe sets, NF sample plates, NF washing well
plates, and the processer which runs its software.
Software: The uses NextGenMap software to quickly and efficiently sequence the
example/target genome.
