Bioprocessing in microgravity: free flow electrophoresis of C. elegans DNA

Free flow electrophoresis of a nematode C. elegans DNA was carried out on the space shuttle flight STS65/Colombia. During the processes of the experiment, the house keeping data of the FFEU and the electrophoretic migration profiles were monitored at POCC (Payload Operations Control Center) of MSFC (Marshall Space Flight Center, Alabama) according to the real-time down-link system. The three dimensional electropherogram (3DEP) on the basis of...
