TECHNOLOGY SUMMARY
NJIT's point of care (POC) micro bio-chip is an innovative / state-of-the-art sensing technology capable of diagnosing certain cancers from a small blood sample drawn from a finger prick.
Primary Application Area: Medical Devices
Technology Development Status: Prototype
FIGURES OF MERIT
Value Proposition: The POC micro bio-chip's KEY value propositions:
Early Stage Detection: Capable of detecting complex diseases earlier;
No Sample Preparation Required;
Inexpensive Device: The POC Biochip has a targeted cost of $2 when produced in mass quantities;
Platform for Other Diagnostic Applications – currently focused on cancer, but can be extended to other diseases as well by altering the corresponding bio-markers
