Chip maker STMicroelectronics said Wednesday it has teamed with Singapore-based medical firm Veredus Laboratories to develop a disposable laboratory-on-a-chip thatcan detect strains of bird flu and other influenza viruses within an hour.
Based on ST’s In-Check platform, the application under development aims to identify whether a patient is infected with the avian flu (H5N1) or a subtype of Influenza A or B in a single test, rather than conducting a series of tests, as required now.
