Miniaturization allows qualitative biochemical polymerase chain reactions (PCR) to run in parallel in real time on a BioMEMS chip. Compared to previous PCR reactions, the volumes of liquids are reduced by a factor of 1,000 to the nanoliter range. The analysis of liquids is left to a small microchip. With the new BioMEMS technology, fully automatic testing of up to 250 genetic characteristics (e.g. pathogens) in one cartridge is possible in less than 15 minutes in some cases.
