Biochips are miniaturized laboratories that can perform hundreds or thousands of biochemical reactions simultaneously on a single chip. These devices are primarily used in medical diagnostics, drug discovery, and genomics. Biochips contain arrays of biosensors that interact with biological samples, such as blood or DNA, and provide detailed information about the molecular content of the sample. This technology enables rapid analysis of genetic mutations, identification of pathogens, and monitoring of disease progression, making it highly valuable in personalized medicine and early disease detection.
The three main types of biochips are DNA chips (microarrays), protein chips, and lab-on-a-chip devices. DNA chips analyze gene expression or detect genetic variations, while protein chips study interactions among proteins or between proteins and other molecules. Lab-on-a-chip devices integrate multiple laboratory functions on a single chip, allowing for sample preparation, reaction, and analysis in a compact form. As biochip technology continues to evolve, it promises increased accuracy, reduced costs, and faster turnaround times in biomedical research and clinical applications.
