SmartBead Technologies, a spin out of the world- renowned Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge, aims to use micro-machined components to reduce the time and effort required to perform clinical diagnostic tests. Under the Ultraplex brand, it is using micro and nanotechnology to combine many different existing tests in one new test. This is a substantial improvement on the current si
