Lab-On-a-Chip Works Aboard the ISS
April 8, 2007 / Posted by: Shige Abe
The Lab-On-a-Chip Application Development Portable Test System (LOCAD-PTS) is an instrument developed by the NAI Carnegie Institution of Washington Team over the past 4 years in collaboration with NASA Marshall Space Flight Center and Charles River Labs. LOCAD-PTS was flown to and recently tested aboard the International Space Station (ISS) to enable crew to monitor microorganisms and potentially hazardous chemicals within the cabin environment. The successful test is the first demonstration of complete biochemical analysis – from sampling to data retrieval – by an astronaut in space.
