Malaria Diagnosis Employs Hydrophilic-Treated Plastic Plates

Malaria is a red blood cell (RBC) infection caused by Plasmodium parasite and to determine RBC infection rate, which is essential for malaria study and diagnosis, microscopic evaluation of Giemsa-stained thin blood smears on glass slides is performed. More...

New Ultrafast Method Determines Antibiotic Resistance

Antibiotic resistance is a growing medical problem that threatens human health globally. One important contributory factor in the development of resistance is the incorrect use of antibiotics for treatment. More...

Smartphone-Based Analyzer Designed for Sample Testing

A handheld spectrophotometer that uses a smartphone camera to measure changes in absorption of natural light or emission of fluorescent light is the key to a mobile instrument that can evaluate biological samples with the accuracy of clinical laboratory analyzers but at a fraction of the cost. More...

Biosensor Device Developed for Zika Diagnosis

A novel plasmonic biosensor-based detection system was developed that can diagnose recent or current Zika virus (ZIKV) infection in 15 minutes or less. More...

Smartphone-Based ELISA Developed for Blood Antigens

A novel high speed, lab-on-a-chip ELISA test for antigens in blood samples depends on a unique nonstick polymer coating that eliminates the need for multiple incubation and washing steps. More...

Dried Blood Assessment Equivalent to Drawn Blood Samples

A self-sampling method for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of biologicals was developed that should enhance TDM implementation by patients with various autoimmune conditions. More...

Pumps Achieve High-Speed Sorting of Large Cells

The sorting of individual cells is necessary for many medical applications, including the isolation of specific cell types from cell suspensions. A fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) has been used for high-throughput cell sorting. More...
