Answer 14

The wave of the future is something called "lab-on-a-chip." It will be a credit card sized machine that you could load a tiny sample into on the spot – you wouldn't have to wait until you got back to the lab.

Lab-on-a-chip would use tiny tubes and pumps to perform all the steps normally done by hand by scientists. It would take the DNA out of a sample, make lots of copies of the DNA, and analyze the fingerprint. It would do all this at a fraction of the cost and in a fraction of the time that current methods use.
