Overview: This paper provides information on the advances in Biomedicine. Combining techniques from the microchip industry with advances in biomedicine, British engineers have devised biological microchips (biochips) that can provide rapid and inexpensive diagnosis of a growing number of medical conditions. A UK-based company Randox Laboratories Ltd has pioneered the biochip to automate blood tests. Recently approved by the US Food & Drug Administration, Randox's Evidence technology is set to change the face of medical diagnosis. Growing expectations, new medical knowledge and the ability to treat a broader range of diseases impose a growing financial burden on the National Health Service.
