Microfluidic Device Automatically Monitors Whole Blood Hemostasis

An assay has been devised for testing blood's clotting tendency, also known as hemostasis, which could one day prove lifesaving in a variety of clinical situations in which a patient's health is jeopardized by abnormal blood coagulation and platelet function.  More...

Polymer-Based Rapid Test Visually Differentiates Tumor Cells

A polymer-based rapid test has been developed which visually differentiates tumor cells from healthy cells in a tissue section through the use of a simple microscope. Surgeons can already use the test in the operating room which saves time and expenses.  More...

Ultrasensitive Assay Detects Asymptomatic Low-Density Malaria

Highly sensitive, scalable diagnostic methods are needed to guide malaria elimination interventions and while traditional microscopy and rapid diagnostic tests are suitable for the diagnosis of symptomatic malaria infection, more sensitive tests are needed to screen for low-density, asymptomatic infections.  More...
