NanoComputer

A metal cube the size of a toaster, created at the University of Alberta (U of A) in Canada, is capable of performing the same genetic tests as most fully equipped modern laboratories—and in a fraction of the time.

 Plastic chip that can perform 20 genetic tests from a single drop of blood: a kind of a lab-on-a-chip

At its core is a small plastic chip developed with nanotechnology that holds the key to determining whether a patient is resistant to cancer drugs or has viruses like malaria. The chip can also pinpoint infectious diseases in a herd of cattle.
