Polymer-Based Rapid Test Visually Differentiates Tumor Cells

A polymer-based rapid test has been developed which visually differentiates tumor cells from healthy cells in a tissue section through the use of a simple microscope. Surgeons can already use the test in the operating room which saves time and expenses.  More...
