According to Shenguo, one of China's largest overseas medical service organizations, at present, using a microchip device with a USB plug for DNA testing, it takes only 30 minutes to find out if you have a disease risk gene, and the price is as low as 20 Dollar. This type of microchip is called a "chip lab." 
Traditional DNA analysis is carried out in the laboratory, with specialized equipment and expertise, and the results are available in a few weeks, at a very high price. Chris, Professor of Imperial College of Technology and Head of Bionic Technology Center, London, UK? Tumazzo combines electronics, biology, genetics and medical care with a tiny chip lab that brings a wealth of innovative applications that have great potential in the fast-growing, multi-billion dollar personalized healthcare sector.
Multi-function dedicated chip
Each chip lab has a genetic sequence taken from a person who is predisposed to a disease to identify people who can match the gene. Each chip has its own function but has its own purpose, such as a chip that can detect if someone is at risk for type 2 diabetes, and another chip that can find someone with a heart disease risk gene. The test only needs to provide a DNA sample, wipe the sample with saliva or mouth, infiltrate it into a series of fine semiconductor chips, and then complete the complex test through the programmed program.
If the original gene sequence in the sample and the chip match, that is, the nucleotide of the subject gene is paired with the chip-embedded gene and combined to release hydrogen ions, the chip will produce the subject suffering from or susceptible to the disease. Signal; if the nucleotides are not bound, they will not release hydrogen ions and signal that they are not or are not susceptible to the disease.
Tumazzo explained: “There is a 0.1% genetic difference between people. Every time you do a genetic test, you may find some new differences. These differences are caused by genetic mutations, and sometimes we use these mutations to make chips. Built-in sequence in."
The lab is easy to carry, even in outpatient clinics or in remote locations where medical facilities are lacking. Even in the patient's home, you can get the results by plugging the chip into a tablet or similar device. More importantly, the chip can display a variety of genetic diseases that a person is susceptible to, such as type 2 diabetes, allergies to certain drugs.
In 2014, Tumazzo was awarded the title of “Inventor of the Year†by the European Patent Office. This technology is expected to be popularized throughout the public health field, thus shifting the focus of medicine from treatment to early prevention.
"Build" personalized solution
Using genetic testing technology, doctors can not only develop personalized treatment plans based on different characteristics of people, but also give preventive advice in advance. If the test results show that someone is susceptible to a disease, this does not mean that he will definitely get the disease. It just provides some knowledge to change their lifestyle and minimize the risk of future illness. Predicting disease is only a small part of the potential of this technology. In addition, the lab can determine which drugs to use based on the genetic characteristics of different patients, and how many doses are most effective.
In a meeting in 2015, Tumazzo talked about a former cancer patient who gave the patient a DNA test and found that she was resistant to the drugs prescribed by the doctor, so they changed her drug. .
Currently, they are developing other products to help crack serious blood infections such as sepsis. It is expected that by 2017, Tumazzo will also launch a chip called DNAe.
