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...

Cutting Edge Technology Used to Grade Cancer Tumors

Biopsy specimens are processed into formalin-fixed-paraffin-embedded (FFPE) blocks and currently, hematoxylin and eosin (H + E) stained sections are widely used for the histopathological diagnosis of cancer and other pathologies. More...

Liquid Biopsy Platform Isolates Circulating Disease Biomarkers

A new platform has been created with the potential to extract tiny circulating biomarkers of disease from patient blood. This simple, fast and convenient technique could help realize liquid biopsy diagnostics, which is a less invasive procedure than the current gold standard tumor biopsies. More...

Solvatochromic Trehalose Probe Rapidly Detects TB

Despite its devastating toll on health, the bacteria causing tuberculosis (TB), Mycobacterium tuberculosis, can be hard to spot. Current tests rely on chemical stains and estimates put the sensitivity of these stains anywhere from 32% to 94%. More...

Novel Method Introduced for Dry Storage of Biological Samples

A novel method for preserving biological samples collected for diagnostic testing at room temperature may one day eliminate the need for refrigeration, which is often not available in third-world settings. More...
