A microchip for the diagnosis of disease







A team of scientists demonstrated that the minutes of the chip of silicon, able to diagnose a number of diseases . 
Diagnosis is made pump and a small drop of blood inside the slide where I pick up indicators of the disease are subject to search . 
Slide depends on its ability to move fluids within the small channels by the momentum of its own, without having to use pumps . 
Design and function in a simplified manner, and does not require a large sample of blood, and the slide is designed in accordance with flexible design so used to diagnose a greater number of diseases . 
Search and harms in recent years to develop the potential of chemical and medical assistance to this kind of precision equipment, which is called the "laboratory in a slide ". 
It contains slides on a number of channels ranging from tens to thousands of where the fluid can flow, and the evolution of precise technical capabilities and increased complexity of these slides . 
Now the process of team of scientists belong to IBM Labs (IBM)Zurich Swiss chip able to diagnose dozens of diseases .
