Analytical Performance of Novel Glycated Albumin Assay Evaluated
Diabetes is a complex, chronic illness requiring continuous medical care with multifactorial risk-reduction strategies beyond glycemic control. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) reflects the concentration of mean plasma glucose (MPG) over the last 2–3 months and has been the gold standard for monitoring glycemic control of diabetic patients in clinical practice.

New Method Detects Different Types of Dangerous Viruses or Disease Markers from Single Measurement
Scientists have developed a method to detect viruses in very small volumes. The work follows a successful Innovate UK project developing graphene for use in biosensors – devices that can detect tiny levels of disease markers. Biosensors such as this could be used at the point-of-care - opening effective healthcare in difficult-to-reach settings. More...23 May 2022
Elecsys Androstenedione Immunoassay Evaluated and Compared
Androstenedione (ASD) is a biomarker used in the diagnostic workup of hyperandrogenism, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, premature adrenarche, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Androstenedione is the precursor of testosterone and estrone and is produced in the gonads and adrenal glands. More...20 May 2022
A New Image for Cell Sorting Introduced
Methods that physically separate cells of interest on the basis of measurable characteristics have numerous uses in clinical studies and applications, including cellular therapies. Cells can also be sorted on the basis of signals from extrinsic probes. More...10 May 2022
Novel Automated Procalcitonin Immunoassay Compared with Four Different Assays
Procalcitonin (PCT) is an important biomarker of sepsis and respiratory infections. An increase in PCT expression in parenchymal tissue can typically be observed in severe bacterial, but not or significantly less, respectively, in viral infections; thus, measurement of plasma PCT concentrations is an important diagnostic tool for clinicians to distinguish between infections from a bacterial versus viral origin.

Magnetic Needle Performs Less Invasive, More Precise Surgery and Diagnostic Tests
A team of researchers at the Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering (Baltimore, MD, USA) have demonstrated for the first time that untethered magnetic needles can be forceful enough to accomplish surgery. The researchers call their device the "Pulse Actuated Collisions for Tissue-penetrating Needle," or MPACT-Needle. More...25 Apr 2022
