The patient simply presses the monitor against the skin, causing a micro-needle to penetrate and draw a blood sample about 1/100th the size of a drop. Blood immediately flows through the needle into a miniature reservoir, where chemical reagents react with the glucose to produce a readout of the blood glucose level. The entire one-step process can be completed neatly in less than a minute.
"This is the second grant we received from the NSF to develop our technology to draw blood and perform blood chemistry on an integrated silicon microchip," says Kumar Subramanian, president of Kumetrix, Inc. "Since the company's ...
