What are Biochips? What is its History?
Biochips

The Biochips are a tiny laboratory that allows for the simultaneous execution of hundreds of biochemical operations. They have been specifically created to operate in biological environments, particularly inside of living things. It is not a technological apparatus. Millions of biosensors make up a biochip, which functions as a microreactor for detecting certain analytes like an enzyme, protein, biological molecule, or antibody.

Early studies on sensor technology paved the way for the development of Biochips. The first biochip, called Genechip, was created by an American business called Affymetrix and it contains several DNA sensors that are used to detect flaws.

The Biochips has a variety of probes, each of which is represented by a point in the chip, including DNA, RNAi, protein fragments, etc. These probes interact with the targets found in the test sample. The interaction between the probes and their target is implemented as a result of hybridization. The target identification and signal quantification are then performed using biochip scanners and microarray image analysis tools. The outcomes were collected statistically, and they were then biologically analyzed.
