Mobile Testing Platform Performs World's Fastest Multiplex PCR and RT-PCR Analysis
A new techniques named hcPCR (high content PCR), combines the advantages of qPCR and dPCR, in order to detect a large number of targets per test (multiplexing) and obtain the maximum amount of information in record time. More...29 Jun 2022
Blood Test to Assess Nerve Damage Could Also Detect Alzheimer’s Years Before Onset
Researchers have identified a protein in the blood that may indicate the degradation of neural connections years before the onset of dementia symptoms. The protein could contribute to the early detection of Alzheimer’s disease and possibly also help to assess nerve damage resulting from stroke or traumatic brain injury. More...28 Jun 2022
Electrochemical Sensor Platform to Enable New Diagnostic Tests in Near-Patient Settings
A novel electrochemical sensor platform will pave the way for the development and commercialization of cost-effective, highly sensitive and specific point-of-care diagnostics for neurological, cardiovascular, and renal diseases. More...28 Jun 2022
First-Ever Blood Test Detects Parkinson’s Disease
To date, there have been neither blood parameters nor imaging examinations to produce a definite diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, let alone early recognition. Now, researchers have developed a method that reliably detects protein changes in blood that are typical of Parkinson's disease. More...24 Jun 2022
