        The real impact of what we are developing is on bioterrorism and medical applications. By telling which and if a certain bacteria is present or not in a quick and cheap way, using a small machine that is portable anywhere, you can help doctors know what kind of medicine to give you before you get really, really sick, and you can help the military knowing what kind of biological threat they are dealing with and what’s the best way to protect people from it.
