CHANDIGARH, APRIL 3
 Two M.Tech. (Biotechnology) students of University Institute of Engineering Technology, Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra namely Mr. Sanjeev Bhardwaj and Ms Neha Sharma, have bagged  third prize at National level Student Research Convention ‘Anveshan’ which was recently organized by Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai and All India University Association (AIU) between March 20 and 22.
While stating this today, a spokesperson of the university said that they won the prize for designing and fabricating a patentable working model of ‘E-Gel Doc’ instrument. He said that Sanjeev and Neha have indigenously developed a two-in-one instrument which could be used for analysis of DNA samples and for visualization of nucleic acid bands in a very short time in a cost-effective manner.
 The conventional systems available in India are generally imported from abroad and cost lakhs of rupees. This indigenously developed system could be made available at a very low cost thus making it affordable to low budget institutions and laboratories. This system makes use of Blue LEDs instead of hazardous UV light which makes it safe for all the working professionals, he added.
