INTRODUCTION

Most of us won’t like the idea of implanting a biochip in our body that identifies us uniquely and can
be used to track our location. That would be a major loss of privacy. But there is a flip side to this!
Such biochips could help agencies to locate lost children, downed soldiers and wandering
Alzheimer’s patients.

The human body is the next big target of chipmakers. It won’t be long before biochip implants will
come to the rescue of sick, or those who are handicapped in some way. Large amount of money and
research has already gone into this area of technology.

Anyway, such implants have already experimented with. A few US companies are selling both chips
and their detectors. The chips are of size of an uncooked grain of rice, small enough to be injected
under the skin using a syringe needle. They respond to a signal from the detector, held just a few feet
away, by transmitting an identification number. This number is then compared with the database
listings of register pets.

Daniel Man, a plastic surgeon in private practice in Florida, holds the patent on a more powerful
device: a chip that would enable lost humans to be tracked by satellite.

BIOCHIP DEFINITION

A biochip is a collection of miniaturized test sites (micro arrays) arranged on a solid substrate that
permits many tests to be performed at the same time in order to get higher throughput and speed.
Typically, a biochip’s surface area is no longer than a fingernail. Like a computer chip that can
perform millions of mathematical operations in one second, a biochip can perform thousands of
biological operations, such as decoding genes, in a few seconds.

A genetic biochip is designed to “freeze” into place the structures of many short strands of DNA
(deoxyribonucleic acid), the basic chemical instruction that determines the characteristics of an
organism. Effectively, it is used as a kind of “test tube” for real chemical samples.

A specifically designed microscope can determine where the sample hybridized with DNA strands in
the biochip. Biochips helped to dramatically increase the speed of the identification of the estimated
80,000 genes in human DNA, in the worldwide research collaboration known as the Human
Genome Project. The microchip is described as a sort of “word search” function that can quickly
sequence DNA.

In addition to genetic applications, the biochip is being used in toxicological, protein, and
biochemical research. Biochips can also be used to rapidly detect chemical agents used in biological
warfare so that defensive measures can be taken.

Motorola, Hitachi, IBM, Texas Instruments have entered into the biochip business.

STRUCTURE AND WORKING OF AN ALREADY IMPLANTED SYSTEM

The biochip implants system consists of two components: a transponder and a reader or
scanner. The transponder is the actual biochip implant. The biochip system is radio frequency
identification (RFID) system, using low-frequency radio signals to communicate between the
biochip and reader. The reading range or activation range, between reader and biochip is small,
normally between 2 and 12 inches.

The transponder

The transponder is the actual biochip implant. It is a passive transponder, meaning it contains no
battery or energy of its own. In comparison, an active transponder would provide its own energy
source, normally a small battery. Because the passive contains no battery, or nothing to wear out, it
has a very long life up to 99 years, and no maintenance. Being passive, it is inactive until the reader
activates it by sending it a low-power electrical charge. The reader reads or scans the implanted
biochip and receives back data (in this case an identification number) from the biochips. The
communication between biochip and reader is via low-frequency radio waves.
Since the communication is via very low frequency radio waves it is not at all harmful to the human
body.

The biochip-transponder consists of four parts; computer microchip, antenna coil, capacitor and
the glass capsule.

8
Computer microchips

The microchip stores a unique identification number from 10 to 15 digits long. The storage capacity
of the current microchips is limited, capable of storing only a single ID number. AVID (American
Veterinary Identification Devices), claims their chips, using a nnn-nnn-nnn format, has the capability
of over 70 trillion unique numbers. The unique ID number is “etched” or encoded via a laser onto the
surface of the microchip before assembly. Once the number is encoded it is impossible to alter. The
microchip also contains the electronic circuitry necessary to transmit the ID number to the “reader”.

9
BIOCHIP & SYRINGE

Antenna Coil

This is normally a simple, coil of copper wire around a ferrite or iron core. This tiny, primitive, radio
antenna receives and sends signals from the reader or scanner.

Tuning Capacitor

The capacitor stores the small electrical charge (less than 1/1000 of a watt) sent by the reader or
scanner, which activates the transponder. This “activation” allows the transponder to send back the
ID number encoded in the computer chip. Because “radio waves” are utilized to communicate
between the transponder and reader, the capacitor is tuned to the same frequency as the reader.

10
Glass Capsule

The glass capsule “houses” the microchip, antenna coil and capacitor. It is a small capsule, the
smallest measuring 11 mm in length and 2 mm in diameter, about the size of an uncooked grain of
rice. The capsule is made of biocompatible material such as soda lime glass.

After assembly, the capsule is hermetically (air-tight) sealed, so no bodily fluids can touch the
electronics inside. Because the glass is very smooth and susceptible to movement, a material such as
a polypropylene polymer sheath is attached to one end of the capsule. This sheath provides a
compatible surface which the boldly tissue fibers bond or interconnect, resulting in a permanent
placement of the biochip.

The biochip is inserted into the subject with a hypodermic syringe. Injection is safe and simple,
comparable to common vaccines. Anesthesia is not required nor recommended. In dogs and cats, the
biochip is usually injected behind the neck between the shoulder blades.

11
The reader

The reader consists of an “exciter coil” which creates an electromagnetic field that, via radio signals,
provides the necessary energy (less than 1/1000 of a watt) to “excite” or “activate” the implanted
biochip. The reader also carries a receiving coil that receives the transmitted code or ID number sent
back from the “activated” implanted biochip. This all takes place very fast, in milliseconds. The
reader also contains the software and components to decode the received code and display the result
in an LCD display. The reader can include a RS-232 port to attach a computer.
How it works

The reader generates a low-power, electromagnetic field, in this case via radio signals, which
“activates” the implanted biochip. This “activation” enables the biochip to send the ID code back to
the reader via radio signals. The reader amplifies the received code, converts it to digital format,
decodes and displays the ID number on the reader’s LCD display. The reader must normally be
between 2 and 12 inches near the biochip to communicate. The reader and biochip can communicate
through most materials, except metal.

BIOCHIPS CURRENTLY UNDER DEVELOPMENT

1. Chips that follow footsteps

2. Glucose level detectors

1. Chips that follow footsteps

The civil liberties debate over biochips has obscured their more ethically benign and medically
useful applications. Medical researchers have been working to integrate chips and people for many
years, often plucking devices from well-known electronic appliances. Jeffry Hausdorff of the Beth
Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston has used the type of pressure sensitive resistors found in
the buttons of a microwave oven as stride timers. He places one sensor in the heel of a shoe, and one
in the toe, adds a computer to the ankle to calculate the duration of each stride.

“Young, healthy subjects can regulate the duration of each step very accurately,” he says. But elderly
patients prone to frequent falls have extremely variable stride times, a flag that could indicate the
need for more strengthening exercises or a change in medication. Hausdorff is also using the system
to determine the success of a treatment for congestive heart failure. By
monitoring the number of strides that a person takes, can directly measure the patient’s activity level,
bypassing the often-flowed estimate made by the patient.

2. Glucose level detectors

Diabetics currently use a skin prick and a handheld blood test, and then medicate themselves with the
required amount of insulin. The system is simple and works well, but the need

13
to draw blood means that most diabetics do not test themselves as often as they should. The new
S4MS chip will simply sit under the skin, sense the glucose level, and send the result back out by
radio frequency communication.

A light emitting diode starts off the detection process. The light that it produces hits a fluorescent
chemical: one that absorbs the incoming light and re-emits it at a longer wavelength. The longer
wavelength of light is detected, and the result is send to a control panel outside the body. Glucose is
detected because the sugar reduces the amount of light that a fluorescent chemical re-emits. The
more glucose is there the less light that is detected.

S4MS is still developing the perfect fluorescent chemical, but the key design innovation of the S4MS
chip has been fully worked out. The idea is simple: the LED is sitting in a sea of fluorescent
molecules. In most detectors the light source is far away from the fluorescent molecules, and the
inefficiencies that come with that mean more power and larger devices. The prototype S4MS chip
uses a 22 microwatt LED, almost forty times less powerful than a tiny power-on buttons on a
computer keyboard. The low power requirements mean that energy can be supplied from outside, by
a process called induction. The fluorescent detection itself does not consume any chemicals or
proteins, so the device is self-sustaining.
