A Victorian inventor has won a state innovation award for his "handheld laboratory". Scientist Micah Atkins' handheld medical diagnostic system has the potential to save millions of lives, says INNOVIC, which presented him with the International Next Big Thing Award today. The first use for the handheld lab will be testing for tuberculosis in third-world countries that cannot afford specialised, expensive equipment and scientists. The palm-sized device uses microchips and the science of microfluidics, and can test for other diseases, contaminants and biological weapons. INNOVIC chief executive Joss Evans said Dr Atkins' invention was "a very clever innovation and meets a real community need".
