The National Biochip Engineering Research Center (Beijing Capital Biochip Inc.): Biochip represents a novel platform of technologies for high-throughput analysis of DNA, mRNA, protein and other biological entities in micro- or nano- scales. On March 31st of 1997, biochip technology was featured by FORTUNE magazine as a cover story comparing its emergency with that of microprocessor chips. " While microchips have reshaped our economy, spawned vast fortunes and changed the way we live over the past several decades, gene chips could be even bigger."
