New 'GreeneChip' Identifies Multiple Pathogens Rapidly And Accurately

... An international group of researchers has recently developed a new technology for pinpointing pathogens. Called the "GreeneChip," this device consists of a glass slide onto which are attached nearly 30,000 pieces of genetic material taken from thousands of different viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. When human fluid and tissue samples are applied to the chip, these probes will stick to any closely related genetic material in the samples. ...
