 Different Types of Biochips and usage

There are 3 representatives of Biochips which are DNA Microarray, Microfluidic Chip and Protein Microarray and they function similarly but they use different methods of inserting and the functioning. In the following, I will jot down the usage of DNA Microarray.




DNA microchips are known as microarrays and this chip usually tends to have a strong base generally made of glass or silicon and DNA is added in an orderly way. And this chip is invented to analyze the mutation in genes such as cancer. 


Usage of DNA microchips are 

1. Disease Diagnosis and Genetic Engineering

 - With the use of such technology, scientists may focus on cancer research while also learning more about a range of other disorders, such as infectious diseases, mental health issues, and heart diseases. The organ in which the tumor arises currently determines how cancer is classified; however, using DNA microchips, researchers will be able to classify cancer based on gene mutations in tumor cells. This will make it easier to produce drugs that are specifically developed to fight this particular cancer. Many diseases can also be prevented by using gene therapy and genetic engineering because we now understand the gene mutations that cause them.

2. Drug Discovery

-Drug research, which investigates the relationship between therapeutic responses to medications and patients' genetic profiles, uses DNA microchip technology extensively. By using microarray chips, it is easy for scientists to create the medication which lessens the risk of the drug test because sick genes can be compared with biochemical made up protein and healthy cells. 

3. Toxicology Research

-DNA microarrays assist in the identification of novel genes as well as the study of gene expression and functional levels under varied settings.



The biggest advantage of using DNA microchips is the number of the test to make the research. In order to find the reasonable result for the research, numerous tests should be taken. But by using DNA microchips, it can be done with a single test because they provide numerous information on many genes.

2nd. ADVANTAGES OF USING BIOCHIPS IN REAL LIFE.

 Several realistic benefit of using BIOCHIPS Realistic (short-term) benefits: Identification.  Our passports already have microchips, and it would need no infrastructure modification for airports, railway stations, and bus terminals to go from scanning your passport to scanning your arm. The same is true for your ID and driver's license: if the police only have access to a chip scanner, you may totally dispense with your wallet (presuming NFC has already been used in place of your credit and debit cards). Memberships.  The first club to provide microchipping to VIP patrons was Baja Beach Club. One advantage is that you don't need to carry around a key card to access membership benefits, and another is that the ATM function allows you to keep track of and manage your tabs for alcohol and food. It's also handy for organizations to restrict who is allowed to go where and when, eliminating the need for keycards and fobs. The same is true for entry to libraries, gyms, hotel an...

3rd. Information which people have to know before implementing BIOCHIPS

Information which people have to know before implementing BIOCHIPS We cannot discount the fact that there are no products which don’t have disadvantages. We’ve been checking the advantages of implementing biochips in our life and it is time for us to check the realistic disadvantages of implementing the biochips.  Realistic drawbacks 1. Uncertainty.  The long-term consequences of microchips on the body are unknown. The social repercussions of widespread chipping are unknown. We don't know what issues will occur in relation to every aspect of the concept, and we probably won't until we give it a shot. 2. Cannot commit non-violent crimes.  Driving too fast, seeing an additional film, etc. In order to provide you with better services, those who are offering them must have access to more information about you, therefore contextualized advantages are always at the expense of broadcasting that expanded contextual data. For instance, a basic always-on GPS provides the ability to...
