Influence of channel width and velocity of microbiopsy on DNA, extraction, RNA extraction and pain scores in volunteers
Channel width DNA extracted: total DNA extracted (ng) from different channel widths (mm) in 20 volunteers (v1-v20).
Channel width pain scores: the level of pain scored (10 point Likert scale) by 20 volunteers (v1-v20) when applied with different channel widths (mm).
Velocity DNA extracted: total DNA (ng) extracted using microbiopsy at different velocities (m/s) in 20 volunteers (v1-v20).
Velocity pain scores: the level of pain (10 point Likert scale) scored by 20 volunteers (v1-v20) in response to different velocities (m/s).
Roughness amp. DNA extracted: the total DNA (ng) extracted using microbiopsy with different roughness amplitude in 20 volunteers (v1-v20).
RNA extracted: the total RNA extracted (ng) from excised AK lesions using 0.15 mm channel width microbiopsies (n=5).
