Biochips & Tissue chips

Biochips ask the entire fundamental functional unit, capable of performing multi biochemical tasks simultaneously. Tissue chips on the other hand are similar miniaturized units which can replace a tissue or some a neighborhood of it, enabling the organ to work normally. Both biochips & tissue chips have been elemental in tissue engineering technology and have proven to be of utmost importance in the same arena. DNA microarray also called as biochip in simple terms consists of a two dimensional grid system where upon sensors or solid flat substrates are incorporated. These solid substrates are often either charged a touch like silicon or glass or can also be consisting of integrated circuitry units that perform best in signal transduction studies. These kinds of microarrays have application in micromechanical studies.
