Bear's "Blood Music" traces the evolution of biochips. Zyomyx' multiplexed, high-throughput Protein Profiling Biochips system lifts the constraints on protein analysis, allowing scientists to engage in more productive and cost-effective protein research. The new film could be useful for cooling dense, hot-running electronic and optical microchips and for controlling temperatures of DNA and protein biochips (SN: 3/8/97, p. |
