Smartphone Microscopes Transformed into Lab Devices

Mobile phones have facilitated the creation of field-portable, cost-effective imaging and sensing technologies that approach laboratory-grade instrument performance. However, the optical imaging interfaces of mobile phones are not designed for microscopy and produce distortions in imaging microscopic specimens. More...

Continuous Glucose Monitor Benefits Diabetics

Continuous glucose monitors (CGM) offer significant, daily benefits to people with type 1 diabetes, providing near-real time measurements of blood sugar levels, but they can be expensive. More...

TB-LAMP Assay Evaluated in Reference Labs

Smear microscopy, the first line in tuberculosis (TB) detection, has a low and variable sensitivity of 30% to 70%. Conventional culture on solid media has a sensitivity of 80% to 90%, but requires two to eight weeks for a result. More...

Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy Used for Rapid Tissue Evaluation

Optical imaging techniques are currently available for imaging tissues without the need for any type of extensive tissue preparation. There are several applications for their potential use in surgical pathology practice. More...

Ultra-Sensitive Rapid Test Evaluated for Malaria

In low prevalence regions, subpatent Plasmodium falciparum malaria infections have become an issue of increasing concern. As malaria endemic countries shift from control to elimination, the proportion of low-density P. falciparum infections increases. More...

New Dipstick Rapidly Detects Cholera in Acute Diarrhea

Cholera is an acute watery diarrheal disease caused mainly by Vibrio cholerae serogroup O1 and less commonly by V. cholerae O139. Cholera can lead to severe diarrhea and death if untreated. More...

New Rapid Test Reports Antibiotic Resistance in Two Hours

Resistant bacteria are spreading worldwide, which makes fast antibiotic susceptibility testing and determination of the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) urgently necessary to select appropriate antibiotic therapy in time. More...
