Building a biochemistry lab on a chip

  • Building a biochemistry lab on a chip - Miniaturized laboratory-on-chip systems promise rapid, sensitive, and multiplexed detection of biological samples for medical diagnostics, drug discovery, and high-throughput screening. Using micro-fabrication techniques and incorporating a unique design of transistor-based heating, researchers are further advancing the use of silicon transistor and electronics into chemistry and biology for point-of-care diagnostics.(10.1073/pnas.1219639110)

    First mobile app for green chemistry fosters sustainable manufacturing of medicines

  • First mobile app for green chemistry fosters sustainable manufacturing of medicines - Mention mobile applications, or mobile apps, and people think of games, email, news, weather, productivity and other software for Apple, Android and other smart phones and tablet computers. But an app with broader impact -- the first mobile application to foster wider use of the environmentally friendly and sustainable principles of green chemistry -- is the topic of a report in the American Chemical Society's new journal, ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering.(10.1021/sc3000509)
