Biochip puts it all together Researchers have made all manner of microfluidic machines, but have yet to come up with cheap, mass-producible biochips for handheld medical and environmental testing. A simple plastic chip puts the necessary pieces together. The $7 device tests blood samples for the presence of E. coli bacteria. |
