Abstract :
We show a novel, centrifugo-pneumatic scheme for solvent-selective routing of organic and aqueous flows based on an integrated, graphene oxide (GO) membrane. We then implement a sequential, multi-reagent protocol geared towards automated solid-phase extraction of nucleic acids with a sequence of washing and elution steps with aqueous and organic liquids.
