STMicro launches speedy chip to detect bird flu
      

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Europe's top semiconductor maker, STMicroelectronics , said it has developed a portable chip to detect influenza viruses including bird flu in humans. The device, which functions as a mini laboratory on a chip, can screen and identify multiple classes of pathogens and genes in a single diagnostic test within two hours, unlike other tests available on the market that can detect only one strain at a time and require days or weeks to obtain results.
