Micro Fluidic Point-Of-Care Diagnostics

Group Members:

Tom Pregel, Mike Kaplan, Jake Levy

On today’s edition of nano tech, our host Mike talks about Micro Fluidic Point-of-Care devices and interviews a local CVS representative.  A POC device stands for Point-of-Care device, like a pregnancy test, that does not require the need of a laboratory or medical experience. In order to make these devices one must have the knowledge of many different fields and enough resources to cover the expense of creating them.  To engineer a POC device one must know about the reaction that they are trying to make/ what they are looking for in order to design the microfluidic chip.
