Parallel Impedance Cytometry Screens Bacterial Cells in Real Time

Antibiotic-resistant infections are responsible for killing over a million people worldwide every year. Central to managing resistant infections is quickly identifying an appropriate treatment to which the infective bacteria are susceptible. Significant time is needed to determine the drug susceptibility profile of a bacterial infection. More...

‘Lab on a Chip’ Paves Way for Use of Portable Spectrometer in Biomedical Analysis

Scientists have developed a better tool to measure light, contributing to a field known as optical spectrometry and resulting in a powerful, ultra-tiny spectrometer that fits on a microchip and is operated using AI. The research involved a comparatively new class of super-thin materials known as two-dimensional semiconductors, and the upshot is a proof of concept for a spectrometer that could be readily incorporated into a variety of technologies – including biomedical analyzers, among others.

Self-Teaching AI Algorithm Uses Pathology Images to Diagnose Rare Diseases

Researchers have developed a deep learning algorithm that can teach itself to learn features which can then be used to find similar cases in large pathology image repositories and has many potential applications, including identifying rare diseases. More...

Handheld Mass Spectrometry Probe Identifies Clinically Relevant Bacteria

Rapid identification of bacteria is critical to prevent antimicrobial resistance and ensure positive patient outcomes. Identifying bacteria while a patient is still in surgery could allow doctors to more quickly move to a targeted antibiotic for their infection. More...

Ultima Genomics Sequencer for Single-Cell RNA-Seq Evaluated

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) enables the study and characterization of cellular states and pathways at ever-growing investigational scales, including the Human Cell Atlas, cell atlases for tumors and other diseases, and large-scale Perturb-Seq screens of millions of cells under genetic or drug perturbations.

Haematology Analyzer Prototype Tested for Field Malaria Surveillance

Simple and accurate diagnosis is a key component of malaria control programmes. Microscopy is the current gold standard, however it requires extensive training and the results largely rely on the skill of the microscopists. More...
