Résumé
Point-of-care tests are medical diagnostic tests performed outside of clinical laboratories and in close proximity_x000D_
of patients receiving care, such as at homes, doctor's offices, and emergency departments in hospitals. The_x000D_
ability to perform diagnostic tests without requiring sophisticated laboratory equipment and infrastructure is_x000D_

to develop a new technology to perform point-of-care diagnostic tests utilizing methods developed for_x000D_
manufacturing silicon microchips, which can be adapted to enable precise control over the flow of extremely_x000D_
