In a fast-paced world, waiting several days for the results of a blood test can be extremely frustrating, especially if it’s for something important. Now researchers at California Institute of Technology have devised a bar-code chip that will end the wait and reduce blood sample sizes, all while testing for proteins that may indicate illnesses such as cancer or heart disease.
