3D Printed Diagnostic Device Rapidly Detects Anemia

A new biomedical device has been developed using 3D printers to create a low cost, point-of-care device that can quickly detect anemia, a condition in which the blood does not have enough healthy red blood cells to transport oxygen to the body's organs.   More...

Image: Schematics of EFIRM technology for the detection of EGFR mutations in the bodily fluids of lung cancer patients. The cyclic-square wave of the electrical field (csw E-field) was applied to release and detect the EGFR mutations. EGFR sequences were measured on the electrochemical sensor with a capture probe precoated in conducting polymer (Photo courtesy of University of California-Los Angeles).

Novel Saliva Test Identifies and Tracks Cancer

A rapid, accurate test that can detect biomarkers of lung cancer in saliva is soon to be trialed in patients and the test takes only 10 minutes to give a result and could be done in the doctor's office.  More...
