Biochips Uses

Biochips Uses

Biochips refer to the complete fundamental functional unit, capable of performing multi biochemical tasks simultaneously. Tissue chips on the other hand are similar miniaturized units that can replace a tissue or some part of it, enabling the organ to work normally. Both biochips & tissue chips have been elemental in tissue engineering technology and have proven to be of utmost importance in the same arena. DNA microarray also called as biochip in simple terms consists of a two dimensional grid system where upon sensors or solid flat substrates are incorporated. These solid substrates can be either positively charged just like silicon or glass or can also be consisting of integrated circuitry units that perform best in signal transduction studies. An overview of the global market for current and emerging biochip technologies and products. Characterizations of biochip markets by type (DNA microarray, protein microarray, emerging microarray, and lab-on-a-chip); by function including gene expression, genotyping, micro-RNA, epigenetic, sequence capture and by end-user that includes research-and-development tools, drug discovery and development, diagnostics, sequencing, and applied sciences
