Nanochemistry on a Biochip |

The stained bacterial
cells shown in this image are part of a prototype " lab on a chip"
sensor system designed by NIST scientists and collaborators. The cells adhere
to posts constructed within microscopic channels of a plastic sensor device.
The blue, green and yellow colors reflect increasing densities of cells,
which eject potassium in the presence of certain chemicals. |
