We report a new Bifurcated Continuous Field-Flow Fractionation (BCFFF) microfluidic chip for isolation and purification of nucleic acids from blood plasma with high and concentration-independent yield. The platform is ideal for isolation and quantification of small miRNAs.

SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR with pooled specimens has been implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic as a cost- and manpower-saving strategy for large-scale testing. However, there is a paucity of data on the efficiency of different nucleic acid extraction platforms on pooled specimens. This study compared a novel automated high-throughput liquid-based RNA extraction (LRE) platform (PHASIFYTM) with a widely used magnetic bead-based total nucleic acid extraction (MBTE) platform (NucliSENS® easyMAG®). A total of 60 pools of nasopharyngeal swab and 60 pools of posterior oropharyngeal saliva specimens, each consisting of 1 SARS-CoV-2 positive and 9 SARS-CoV-2 negative specimens, were included for the comparison. Real-time RT-PCR targeting the SARS-CoV-2 RdRp/Hel gene was performed, and GAPDH RT-PCR was used to detect RT-PCR inhibitors. No significant differences were observed in the Ct values and overall RT-PCR positive rates between LRE and MBTE platforms (92.5% (111/120] vs 90% (108/120]), but there was a slightly higher positive rate for LRE (88.3% (53/60]) than MBTE (81.7% (49/60]) among pooled saliva. The automated LRE method is comparable to a standard MBTE method for the detection of SAR-CoV-2 in pooled specimens, providing a suitable alternative automated extraction platform. Furthermore, LRE may be better suited for pooled saliva specimens due to more efficient removal of RT-PCR inhibitors.

Using magnetic nanobeads (MNBs) to extract nucleic acids is an efficient, inexpensive, easy automation, high throughput and good repeatability, instead of the traditional nucleic acid extraction (NAE) methods. Advances in fully automated MNBs-based nucleic acid extraction systems (MNAES) can push the frontiers of point-of-care testing (POCT) devices towards low-cost, automation, and enhanced accuracy molecular-level diagnostics. So, this paper introduces the pipettingbased MNAES with position of magnetic separation kit or tip, and based on magnetic bar MNAES with blending manner is shock or rotation. Further, advantages and disadvantages of various MNAES are compared. We envisage that the future trend in molecular diagnosis and monitoring will be facilitation, intelligent, miniaturization, and high throughput MNAES with sample-in-answer-out capability.
