7 Office of Science U.S. Department of Energy R&D 100 Award Berkeley Lab PhyloChip wins R&D 100 award. The Phylochip is an example of microarray technology designed to rapidly detect the presence of microorganisms in environmental samples using cultivation-independent methods. Phylochip development was co-funded by the ERSP and GTL programs within BER.  Researchers within LBNL Earth Sciences Division have a developed a microarray based technique known as the PhyloChip for detecting microorganisms in a wide variety of environmental samples.  The technique allows scientists to rapidly screen for thousands microbial species using an analytical package about the size of quarter.  The PhyloChip has already seen use in public health testing, medical diagnostics, and environmental cleanup projects and is continuing to find new applications within the scientific community, commercial sectors and other Federal agencies.
