Beta testing an electronic detector for liquid chromatography and developing an electronic detector for gel electrophoresis in partnership withend users

In this internship, UNS-Tech will partner with Profs. Cynthia Goh and David

McMillen to use UNS-Tech’s electronic detection technology to detect molecules,

including proteins, polymer nanoparticles and DNA, that are of interest in their

research. UNS-Tech’s state-of-the-art electronics-based detectors for HPLC and

gel electrophoresis will be employed in Prof. Goh’s and Prof. McMillen’s labs,

respectively. Head-to-head tests between UNS-Tech’s technologies and stateof-

the-art detection will be conducted, the results will be analyzed and the

findings will be published in scientific journals. The interns will benefit from this

internship by gaining tremendous knowledge of electronics-based detection and

beta testing of electronic detectors. The host company will benefit by having an

opportunity to beta test its technology in a cutting-edge application and to

evaluate its electronic detectors against present art detectors, hopefully proving

superiority over present art detectors. The supervisor will benefit by having

access to state-of-the-art detection technology that will enhance the performance

of their HPLC and gel electrophoresis.
