A novel technology that can test cells in minutes for responses to any stimulus, including antibiotics, pathogens, toxins, radiation, and chemotherapy, has been developed by scientists at the University at Buffalo

USA Today (Society for the Advancement of Education),  June, 2005  

A novel technology that can test cells in minutes for responses to any stimulus, including antibiotics, pathogens, toxins, radiation, and chemotherapy, has been developed by scientists at the University at Buffalo (N.Y.). "Now, in a matter of minutes, we can tell if particular antibiotics are active against specific bacteria.

We have measured the sensitivity to antibiotics of different strains of E. coli in less than 10 minutes at room temperature. We will get results even faster at higher temperatures," reports Frederick Sachs, professor of physiology and biophysics.
