3. Introduction
 A biochip is a microprocessor chip used in biology.
 Collection of miniaturized test sites (microarrays) arranged on asolid
substrate.
 Permits many tests to be performed at the same time.
 Perform thousands of biological reactions is a few seconds.

4. History of Biochips
 Concept of a biochip was made possible by the
work of Fred Sanger and Walter Gilbert. The
biochip technology was originally developed in
1983.

5. Architecture and Working of Biochips
 The present day biochip device is a very simple device.It is basically a
computer chip inserted under the skin of humans , animals for identification
purposes.

6. Applications of Biochips
 Biochip Technology can be used and adapted for almost any clinical
application in the world.
 With the help of Biochips tracing of Animals/Humans is possible.
 Biochips with the advanced technology that they use can soon replace
Passports, ATM and any kind of personal identification.

7. Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages
 Increases the speed of diagnosis.
 It is used for the identification
purpose.
 It can be used to locate missing
and kidnapped people.
Disadvantages
 Initial implementation cost is high
 If at any time the biochip fails is a
challenging question that still
puzzles scientists
 They raise critical issues of
personal privacy
