The designers say that this three inch cube, Cue, provides analytical precision substantially equivalent to the results produced by massive and expensive desktop lab equipment. Tests that were previously only available through a doctor’s office now can be administered at the bedside of a sick child or following a workout at the gym. The laboratory is getting much smaller and cheaper. These days you can test many different things right at home. Testing is simple. Bodily fluids are collected on pristine white strips which are inserted into disposable, color-coded microfluidic cartridges. The cartridges are then analyzed by the Cue and results are displayed through an iPhone mobile application. One of the major hurdles that this technology is facing is approval from the FDA which is crucial to marketing it. They need to show that it works consistently and has good quality control. It also needs to make sure that there is no way the user can mess it up. And of course there is what we like to call phase four testing, where the population uses it and things are discovered that can only be discovered through the use of the technology.
