How IBM Is Advancing Lab-on-a-Chip

IBM researcher boast a lab-on-a-chip they've developed that is able to separate biological particles at the nanoscale, providing hope for detecting diseases such as cancer before symptoms appear. 

Tests of the chip, reported in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, showed it separating biological particles down to the scale of 20 nm, enough for detecting particles including DNA and viruses--and most importantly, exomes that are crucial for detecting disease at its earliest stages.
