Saliva Specimens Diagnose Respiratory Virus by POC Assay

The use of saliva as a specimen for the detection of respiratory viruses has been proposed as an alternative to nasopharyngeal aspirate or nasopharyngeal swab: saliva may have the advantage to cause less discomfort in patients and less risk for healthcare workers. More...

Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Identifies Malaria Species

Malaria is an infectious disease caused by different species of Plasmodium, of which, five species are reported to infect humans. Since malaria caused by P. falciparum is the most serious, with high mortality, accurate and prompt diagnosis is especially important to effective management. More...

Tissue-Imaging Technology Enables Real-Time Diagnostics

A new microscope system can image living tissue in real time and in molecular detail, without any chemicals or dyes. The system is called simultaneous label-free autofluorescence multi-harmonic microscopy (SLAM). More...

Biochip Developed to Detect Prostate Cancer Cells

In men with prostate cancer, some tumor cells exit the prostate gland and circulate in the blood. Detecting these cells could enable diagnosis at an earlier stage or help doctors assess whether treatment is effective. More...

Image: Desktop systems have been created that can automatically take patient blood samples (robotic phlebotomy) and process them without any human intervention. Making such technology available for hospitals and clinics may have significant consequences, as blood draws are the most common clinical procedures (Photo courtesy of Rutgers University).

Testing Device Integrates Robotic Phlebotomy with Sample Processing

Diagnostic blood testing is the most commonly performed clinical procedure in the world and influences the majority of medical decisions made in hospital and laboratory settings. However, manual blood draw success rates are dependent on clinician skill and patient physiology. More...
