A biochip is a combination of biological and computer chip technologies that can perform thousands of biological reactions and mathematical operations quickly. It uses microarrays arranged on a substrate to perform multiple tests simultaneously, increasing throughput and speed. Biochips can be implanted under the skin to uniquely identify individuals and track their location using radio frequency identification. They allow integration of computer science, electronics and biology and can accurately monitor what activities and tasks a person is performing.

1.  Biochip= Bio+Chip .
• BIO s tands for any biological entity
lik e protein,DNA etc.
• CHIP s tands for computer chip.
• It is a mate between biological entity
& computer chip.
 A biochip lik e a computer chip which
can perform millions of mathematical
operations & thous ands of biological
reactions in few s econds .

2. 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
throughout the speed.
It is new type of computer logic bio security device implanting in
our body that can identify us uniquely and can used to track our
location.
The biochip uses the radio frequency identification (RFID)
system that uses low frequency radio signals to communicate
between a biochip and reader.
It is the outcome of the fields of computer science,electronics
and biology.
It’s a bio-security device that accurately track information
regarding what a person is doing,and who is actually doing it.
What is Bio-Chip Technology

3. Components of
Biochip
 A biochip implant system consists of two components-
1. The Reader
2. The Transponder
 Computer Microchip
 Antenna Coil
 Capacitor
 Glass Capsule

4. Working of Bio-Chip
004
 Reader generate a low power electromagnetic field to activate the implanted
biochip.
 The biochip sends a unique ID to the reader.
 The reader convert the ID in to digital the ID number on the LCD display.
 This number is then compared with a database listing of already registered
details.

5. Applications of
Bio-Chip
 Tracing of a person or animal anywhere in the world is possible.
 Can store and update financial,medical,demographic data of a
person.
 Biochip leads to a secured E-commerce systems.
 Replacing passports,cash,medical records.
 Perform early detection of diseases.
 In monitoring health condition of individuals in which they are
specifically employed.
