SnapDNA
Semiconductor-based DNA analysis tools
SnapDNA, formerly known as Bio-NEMS, is an emerging technology company that has proprietary, interdisciplinary innovations to enable DNA to be directly analyzed on the surface of a high-speed, custom semiconductor device. The DNA sequencing market achieved a 1000-fold decrease in cost and analysis time by replacing electrophoresis-based analysis with semiconductor-based analysis. SnapDNA is expected to be the first company to use semiconductor-based analysis to drive DNA testing into the portable realm.
Sounds much more interesting than what they claim on their own website http:// snapdna.com/
