Most of us won't like the idea of implanting a biochip in our body that identifies us uniquely and can be used to track our location. That would be a major loss of privacy. But there is a flip side to this! Such biochips could help agencies to locate lost children, downed soldiers and wandering Alzheimer's patients.

6. In Brief
 Bio + Chip = Biochip
 Bio: stands for any biological entity eg:
protein, DNA
 Chip: a computer chip
 Biochip: a mate between biological entity
and a computer

7. In Brief
 Collection of miniaturized test sites of living
entities (micro arrays) arranged on a solid
substrate that permits many tests to be
performed at the same time in order to
achieve higher throughput, speed, accuracy
and smaller size
 Motorola, Hitachi, IBM, Texas Instruments
have entered into the biochip business.

9. BIOCHIP PLATFORM
 Requires micro array technology, transduction
and signal processing technologies to output
the results of sensing experiments

10. Transponder
 The implantable biochip
 Composed of
 Microchip
 Antenna coil
 Tuning capacitor
 Glass Capsule

11. Transponder
 Computer Chip: Stores the unique ID
number

12. Transponder
 Antenna Coil: Primitive Radio antenna
to receive and send signals
 Tuning Capacitor: Charged by the
small (1/1000 of Watt) signal sent by
the reader
 Glass Capsule: Made of biocompatible
material such as soda lime glass,
hermetically (air-tight) sealed,
covered with Polypropylene polymer

13. Active/passive Transponder
 The transponder are the actual biochip implant. If It is a
passive transponder, meaning it contains no battery or
energy of its own. In comparison, an active transponder
would provide its own energy source, normally a small
battery. Because the passive contains no battery, or
nothing to wear out, it has a very long life up to 99 years,
and no maintenance. Being passive, it is inactive until the
reader activates it by sending it a low-power electrical
charge. The reader reads or scans the implanted biochip
and receives back data (in this case an identification
number) from the biochips. The communication between
biochip and reader is via low-frequency radio waves. Since
the communication is via very low frequency radio waves it
is nit at all harmful to the human body.

14. Implant
 Injected by a Hypodermic syringe beneath the
skin
 Usually behind the neck in cats and dogs

15. Reader/Scanner
 Transmits a small signal
 Charges the tuning capacitor
 ID number transmitted by the transponder

16. APPLICATIONS
 Biochip as Glucose Detector
 Biochip as an Blood Pressure sensor
 Biochips really are potent in replacing
passports, cash, and medical records
 A biochip can store and update financial,
medical, demographic data, basically
everything about a person
 Implanted under the skin with a unique ID
number
 Now widely used in monitoring pets and
animals in zoos

17. Advantages
 Small in size
 Faster & powerful
 Detect multiple viral agents in
parallel
 Long Life
 Stores personnel data
 Ease of use
 Human tracking etc..

18. Disadvantages
 Loss of privacy
 End of human freedom and dignity
 Expensive
 Cannot be fabricated at high
density and mass

19. CONCLUSION
 Within ten years you will have a biochip
implanted in your head consisting of financial
status, employment and medical records.
 A biochip implanted in our body can serve as a
combination of credit card, passport, driver’s
license and personal diary. And there is nothing
to worry about losing them.
 It is said that by 2018, all members of typical
American family including there pets will have
microchips under their skin with ID and medical
data
