  • Title: The Moore's Law of microbiology - towards bacterial culture miniaturization with the micro-Petri chip.
    Author: Gefen O, Balaban NQ.
    Journal: Trends Biotechnol; 2008 Jul; 26(7):345-7. PubMed ID: 18453020.
    Abstract:
    A recent publication has reported the fabrication of a new microbial culture device containing an array of unprecedented density - a million growth chambers. This micro-Petri chip should impact on various fields, including biotechnology, ecology, food microbiology and drug development, by enabling high-throughput screens and therefore the detection of rare phenotypes within a large population of microorganisms.
