Biochips & microarray technology consists of the following key points:
Biochips are miniaturized laboratories that can perform hundreds or thousands of simultaneous biochemical reactions. They contain individual sensors to detect defects. Biochips have components like a computer microchip, antenna coil, and capacitor encapsulated in glass.
Biochips have applications in genomics, proteomics, cellomics, and bio-diagnostics like disease diagnosis. They allow researchers to quickly screen large numbers of samples.
Advantages of biochips include their small size, ability to perform fast reactions, increase diagnosis speed, and ease of use. Limitations include difficulty producing at high density and lack of standardization. Overall, biochips promise to
