	Biochip
		Biochips are a platform that require, in addition to microarray technology, transduction and signal processing technologies to output the results of sensing experiments.
		The biochip is used to simultaneously analyze a panel of related tests in a single sample, producing a patient profile.
		Biochip Array Technology is a novel application of a familiar methodology, using sandwich, competitive and antibody-capture immunoassays.

	Biochip technology redefines drug discovery
		Biochip technology has redefined the process of drug discovery with partnerships central to accelerating adoption levels and expanding revenues in a market that is reinforced by strong bioinformatics infrastructure and standardisation of array platforms.
		Biochips identify and prioritise drug targets based on their ability to corroborate a multitude of gene expressions in parallel.
		While biochip technology is undoubtedly innovative and adds real value to the drug development chain, their cost continues to pose a major deterrent to more widespread uptake.

	biochip - a definition from Whatis.com
		A biochip is a collection of miniaturized test sites (microarrays) arranged on a solid substrate that permits many tests to be performed at the same time in order to achieve higher throughput and speed.
		A genetic biochip is designed to "freeze" into place the structures of many short strands of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the basic chemical instruction that determines the characteristics of an organism.
		Biochips helped to dramatically accelerate the identification of the estimated 80,000 genes in human DNA, an ongoing world-wide research collaboration known as the Human Genome Project.

		Biochips, or microarrays, as they are also known, will bring genomics, the study of all the genes in a living organism, out of the research laboratory and into the daily practice of medicine.
		The biochip companies are one of three new industries that piggybacked on the human genome project, the multinational decade-old effort to identify the 100,000 or more genes -- made from the three billion letters or base pairs of nucleotides -- that inform every aspect of human biology.
		If biochips are also to aid in quick diagnosis of disease, they need the ability to follow the trail from a gene, which instructs a cell to make a given protein, to the actual proteins produced within the body.
