The biosensor can be used, for example, to discover and control diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease and cancer and it will cost less than a Euro thanks to the fact that, no bigger than a normal credit card, it is manufactured in printed electronics.

Our integrated biosensor platform is the first printed analysis instrument to be developed,” says Professor Anthony Turner, director of the Linköping Biosensors and Bioelectronics Centre.Anthony Turner also says that it was an article in Google Science Daily that brought the Swedish technology to the attention of the museum.
The biosensor platform was developed in collaboration between Anthony Turner, his research group at LiU and Acreo Swedish ICT in Norrköping.
