Salmonella spp. The IK4 Technology Alliance has developed a fast and economical device to detect other bacteria in less than an hour. The device has a traditional miniaturized laboratory inside a chip. In addition to detecting salmonellosis, researchers have stated that it may have other applications. One of the main advantages of the device is that it performs the entire analysis process very quickly, much faster than conventional laboratory procedures. Among other things, it directly uses samples, without prior treatment, unlike other techniques.
