Overview[edit | edit source]

The MChip is a microarray chip that is used for the detection of multiple pathogens in a single test. It is a diagnostic tool that is used in the field of medicine and biotechnology. The MChip was developed by researchers at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, D.C.

Development[edit | edit source]

The MChip was developed by researchers at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, D.C. The development of the MChip was part of a larger effort to develop new technologies for the detection of infectious diseases.

Function[edit | edit source]

The MChip works by detecting the presence of specific antigens or antibodies in a sample. This is done by using a series of probes that are designed to bind to specific targets. When a target is present in the sample, it will bind to the probe and produce a signal that can be detected by the chip.

Applications[edit | edit source]

The MChip has a wide range of applications in the field of medicine and biotechnology. It can be used for the detection of a wide range of pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, and parasites. It can also be used for the detection of cancer and other diseases.
