The Lab-on-a Chip Applications Development (LOCAD)/IBC team at MSFC designed and began building a new lab-on-a-chip control unit to support the development of new NASA applications for exploration. This unique control unit was completed and tested in FY 2004; it is configured for local use and/or remote operation, via the Internet, by other NASA centers. A strategic lab-on-a-chip application that has been through ground research study, and selected for flight demonstration, will be flight-ready by FY08.
