plastic microchips for measuring biological parameters
Lab: Fraunhofer Institute, Munich (DE)
The concept on which these researchers work is simple: to manufacture microchips in plastic polymers and semi- drivers in carriers of the thickness of a sheet of paper, at affordable costs. Some lithographic methods now make it possible performance.
Thus, by placing a drop of blood on these chips, or wearing them around the arm, respectively, could quickly measure the clotting antibodies to assess the risk of thrombosis before a plane trip for example, or measure the disturbances electromagnetism for a pacemaker.
