Professors to develop hand-held pathogen testing device
...ication will happen on the same DNA biochip. A DNA biochip has signature pieces of DNA attached to a silica surface, similar to a computer chip, and is about the size of a thumbnail. Today, testing air, water or food for pathogens like cholera and dysentery must be done one pathogen at a time. Testing for...New biochip helps study living cells, may speed drug development
