DNA strand comb

This device allows for DNA strands to stretch onto microscope slides, which is called combing. The machine is attached to a microscope slide that moves up at a particular speed. DNA in the suspension is then "combed" onto the slide. Standard laboratory equipment such as a styrofoam box is used the elevate the fiber coming device.
