Biochips are a collection of microarrays or micro-test sites fixed on a solid substrate to perform multiple tests at the same time for achieving enhanced speed and throughput. They are small, wafer-like components that are made from substrates such as soda glass, fused quartz, silicon, and plastic. Biochips are effectively a miniature laboratory that functions to perform several biochemical reactions simultaneously.
