Lab-On-Chip Created for Malaria Diagnosis
The laboratory diagnosis of malaria is usually carried out either by microscopy requiring skilled expertise or immunochromatographic rapid diagnostic tests, which are not without significant limitations, including decreased sensitivity at lower levels of parasitemia. More...29 May 2014
