Image: Microfluidic bioassay devices are currently the preferred diagnostic tools. They measure concentration of disease biomarkers within a patient sample, such as blood, which is passed across a surface containing immobilized bioreceptors to capture the biomarker. They can indicate the likelihood of a disease based on presence/absence or based on comparison of the biomarker concentration in the sample relative to the normal body level (Image courtesy of Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University).

Miniature Technology May Improve Disease Detection

Researchers have developed an improved microcontact printing technology to create an optimal disease diagnostic device of bioreceptor arrays for multiplexed microfluidic assays. More...
