A new "on-chip" method for sorting and identifying bacteria has been created by biomedical engineers in Taiwan. Described in the journal Biomicrofluidics, the discovery may lead to portable devices that could be used for analyzing bacteria-infected blood, finding the causes of urethral irritation, and for screening raw milk and other foods.
