NEW CHIP PROMISES FASTER, CHEAPER DENGUE DETECTION
A new biochip developed in Singapore can halve the time and cost of diagnosing the deadly, mosquito-born Dengue fever, according to the chip's designer. Clinical tests showed that the chip, roughly the size of a coin, is able to detect the dengue virus using a process called molecular diagnostics, Attogenix Biosystems said in a statement. The process takes 2-3 days, down from 6-7 days using traditional methods of detection, which rely heavily on a doctor's subjective assessment and experience.
