Perhaps just in time for the looming bird flu pandemic, a device has been developed at the University of Colorado at Boulder (www.colorado. edu) that can determine the genetic signatures of specific influenza strains from patient samples quickly. Tests by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have verified that the CU-Boulder Flu Chip can determine the genetic makeup of types and subtypes of the flu virus in about 11 hours.
