Increasingly Efficient Serological Tests Developed with Electrochemiluminescence
Diagnostic markers, or biomarkers, are biomolecules (e.g., enzymes, proteins, peptides, and hormones) that can be measured accurately and reproducibly and can precisely predict relevant clinical outcomes or diseases in various populations. More...17 Jun 2020

Fidget Spinner Rapidly Detects Urinary Tract Infections
More than half of all women experience at least one episode of urinary tract infection (UTI) in their lifetime, with men also facing increasing risks of infection as they age. Current detection of UTIs relies on patients reporting symptoms followed by a laboratory culture of the urine for known bacterial culprits, which typically takes a few days. More...16 Jun 2020



Urine Testing Method Developed for Ureterolithiasis
Ureterolithiasis (nephrolithiasis or kidney stones) is a disease affecting the urinary tract. Kidney stones occur due to buildup of certain salts and minerals that form crystals, which in turn stick together and enlarge to form a hard mass in the kidneys. The stones move into the urinary tract and can cause blood in the urine, considerable pain and blockages in the urinary system. More...03 Jun 2020

Smartphone-Based Technique Helps Doctors Assess Hematological Disorders
As one of the most common clinical laboratory tests, blood hemoglobin tests are routinely ordered as an initial screening of reduced red blood cell production to examine the general health status before other specific examinations. More...01 Jun 2020
