Microfluidic chemistry is a mainstream thing. It's used for all kinds of processes, even in large-scale drug manufacturing to replace batch processes.
- freitasm 2y agoI did not imply this. I believe this needs to be tested by other parties, results checked, etc. Like science. Because claims like this ("diagnose," "small drops," "quick") were made before, people ended up in jail for the tactics used trying to protect the lies when they couldn't make it work.
- cyberax 2y agoSure, but they're not claiming to analyze everything. Cancer marker detection is an active field, and it often involves checking for the levels of several proteins/RNA fragments. What they did, they found a material that allows them to microfluidize the processes.
- bawolff 2y agoSure same as any medical device. But siezing on the word "microfluidics" because theranos used it, makes about as much sense as seizing on the word "chemistry" and saying theranos also claimed to use chemistry.
