Futurism : "Lab-on-a-Chip, researchers track individual cells by assigning them a digital code | Ce monde à inventer ! | Scoop.it
John Toons 28/04/16 : A team at Georgia Institute of Technology has found a way to digitize information observed on microfluidic chips, resulting in an inexpensive, sophisticated pocket medical testing device that would make testing accurate and convenient outside of hospitals. Fatih Sarioglu, an assistant professor in Georgia Tech’s School of Electrical and Computer Engineering has added an extra feature to microfluidic chips that would enable them to assign codes onto cells and trace them as they pass through the chips’ channels. Using three electrodes, they are able to assign unique identification numbers to each cell...
