Moving diagnostics from the bench to the bedside

Article Abstract:

Development of new microelectronic components that can miniaturize diagnostic devices to reduce costs and increase throughput and sensitivity of a wide range of diagnostic tests are described. Miniaturization is seen to posses the potential for solving problems in unexpected ways and changing the economics of diagnostics that are traditionally a low-margin business.
