A large number of third world countries in need of immediate medical care that allows you to quickly and effectively to improve health and quality of life, scientists say. U.S. scientists have created a small chip called LUCAS, associated to solving some of the problems with health. The chip is read in a position to samples of blood and will be incorporated in a mobile phone. High throughput image program the chip can cover a wide range of diseases, including malaria and AIDS. Experts believe that the innovation is particularly useful in limited medical resources and hospital access, for example in Africa. The lens unit counted quickly and accurately classifies the major types of cells in the blood and can handle a much larger volume of blood than in the initial stages of the creation of up to 5 ml, whereas before - only 0.1 ml The device has a function to Shooting. It scans a blood sample for a second, then a chip processes information using a specially designed digital solution "algorithm" bacteria found in cells and microparticles classifying each type received. In this case can be identified and. The red blood cells and fibroblasts and hepatocytes Scientists at the University of California are convinced that the development is an important step in the development of hand-based diagnostic tools. The main feature of the chip is the possibility of integrating them into a normal mobile phone and deliver via a wireless connection to the results to the hospital for further analysis.
