Optofluidic Device Quantifies CTCs in Blood
Researchers have developed a portable device that rapidly detects and counts circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood samples. It can help provide early diagnosis and help assess a patient’s level of health with convenient, inexpensive, effective testing for monitoring patients with cancer. More...25 Jul 2017
Nanolock Sensor Detects Cancer Driver Mutation
Researchers have developed an accurate and sensitive “nanolock-nanopore” method that successfully diagnosed a known cancer driver mutation with results at the level of single DNA molecules in tumor tissues of thyroid cancer patients. The method can be adapted to detect a broad spectrum of both transversion and transition mutations, with applications from early diagnostics to individualized targeted therapy and monitoring.

Alzheimer's Disease Biomarker Assay Heading for IVD Status
A clinical diagnostic kit that measures the concentration of the Alzheimer's disease blood biomarker APOEepsilon4 was unveiled at the Alzheimer’s Association Conference held in London, United Kingdom, from July 16-20, 2017. More...24 Jul 2017
Portable Device Finds Sepsis Infection Markers
A new portable device can quickly find markers of deadly, unpredictable sepsis infection from a single drop of blood, which is the first to provide rapid, point-of-care measurement of the immune system's response, without any need to process the blood. More...20 Jul 2017
Yeast-Based Tool Developed for Pathogen Detection
The monitoring of global pathogen burden has been traditionally limited to a small number of specialized centers, but more effective detection could be performed in real time by making accurate diagnostics accessible at the point of care. More...13 Jul 2017
