LABONFOIL Diagnostics
May 27, 2014 | Terry Sharrer
Just as its name implies, this diagnostic device is a lab-on-a-chip, but one made on foil rather than a silicon wafer. It is the product of several European labs and its goal is to provide an inexpensive, portable laboratory test panel that can interact with smart devices, such as a chemical detecting skin patch and a smart phone. Four applications under development are for illegal drug detection, biomarkers for cancer, microorganisms contaminating food, and water pollution. Commercial release is about a year away. MORE
