INNOVISION Biochips- Microbiology getaway


Technological advances have affected all aspects of modern day life and continue to offer exceptional benefits that were once considered unrealistic.
Clinical chemistry is the latest sphere of this technological revolution that introduced us to the world of biochips .A biochip is a miniscule electronic device, no bigger than a grain of rice, which is inserted by means of an injection or surgically implanted in the body. Biochips are essentially miniaturized laboratories that can perform hundreds or thousands of simultaneous biochemical reactions. Biochips enable researchers to quickly screen large numbers of biological analytes for a variety of purposes, from disease diagnosis to detection of bioterrorism agents.The chip technology is already used for the identification of dogs and cats and it has been widely accepted for this purpose. Biochip technologies can be applied to numerous fields including genomic, proteomic, and
glycomic research, as well as pharmacology and toxicology .Biochips and other tiny technology is however also becoming increasingly important in the medical world. The pacemaker is an example of such technology which was already fully accepted years ago. New technologies such as the electronic pill and the biochip have countless applications. It enables us to easily access patient information or data for medical examinations.Biochips promise an important shift in molecular biology, DNA diagnostics, and pharmacology, research in carcinogenesis and other diseases and also the possibility of a better understanding of the world of biology in its globality.
The biochip implant consists of mainly 2 components
•Transponder -It is the actual biochip implant.
•Reader -It consists of a coil which creates an electromagnetic field that provides the necessary energy to activate the implanted biochip.
A biochip is continuing to evolve as a collection of essays that provide a technology platform.
One interesting development in this regard is the recent effort to couple so-called Representational Difference Analysis(RDA) with high throughout DNA analysis.The future will also see novel practical extensions of biochip applications that enable significant advances to occur without major new technology engineering.
