Talk:Biochip

Bioethics
I recommend removing the Bioethics section. Bioethics is already a separate topic on Wikipedia, and the discussion in this article, besides being a little subjective, does not relate to biochips at all. Recommend removal or merging with the existing Bioethics page.

Can anybody tell the size of the biochips and the size of  the arrays?

Can anybody tell the size of the biochips and the size of  the arrays?

This pletora of discoucre about biochips and related technologies should be dicontinued. Biochip+human = the antichrist (the beast) The natural number of man in the sequence of creation is 6 because he was created on the 6th day. So follow and do this simlpe arithmetic. Man = 6; C = 3; O = 15; M = 13; P = 16; U = 21; T = 20; E = 5; R = 18 These are corresponding numbers of the alphabets in the order they are arranged. Now: MAN*COMPUTER => 6*3+6*15+6*13+6*16+6*21+6*20+6*5+6*18 = 666 = mark of the beast. So when a human is implanted with biochip for whatever reason, he had been engraved with the mark of the beast, 666.

They seem to be the size of a standard microscope slide. And to the contributer above me; the computer age has only begun. We have neural-computer interfaces in their infantcy and basic AI's. A biochip is a great advancement in the field of medicien that may save countless lives. I would gladly be injected with nanobots if it could help stave off disease. Please refrain from posting such complete nonsence — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.92.70.191 (talk) 02:08, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

size and array size
This will need confirmation, because there's a whole lot of biochips, arraying systems, and detection systems out there. But from what I've heard and seen, they are usually quite a bit smaller than a microscope glass slide. I've seen them about the size of a fingernail, maybe 1 cm x 2cm. Depending on the robotic system, I think the possible number of spots is between hundreds and thousands per biochip. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Grumbler12 (talk • contribs) 15:42, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

history section
The history section appears to have had a large portion removed, and left starting our with a sentence fragment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SuezanneC Baskerville (talk • contribs) 23:51, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

I have just modified 1 one external link on Biochip. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
 * Added tag to http://web.reed.edu/reed_magazine/spring06/features/life_in_venice/should_we.html
 * Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20090210195752/http://www.woodrow.org:80/teachers/bi/1992/bioethics_intro.html to http://www.woodrow.org/teachers/bi/1992/bioethics_intro.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at ).

Cheers.— InternetArchiveBot  (Report bug) 22:03, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
