(PhysOrg.com) -- Dawid Zalewski of the University of Twente, Netherlands, has developed a mini-laboratory on a chip that can purify biological mixtures continuously. This is very different from the usual method that can only process small quantities at a time. In fifteen minutes, the PhD student`s chip processes no less than 25,000 times as much liquid as a ‘normal chip` in a single cycle. Zalewski was awarded his doctorate on 24 October at the faculty of Science and Technology.
