Lab-on-a-chip developed for fast, inexpensive blood tests: Smartphone app next

ScienceDaily (2011-01-12) -- While most blood tests require shipping a vial of blood to a laboratory for analysis and waiting several days for the results, a new device invented by a team of engineers and students uses just a pinprick of blood in a portable device that provides results in less than 30 minutes. The next step will turn blood testing into a smartphone application.
