Electronic Nose Accurately Diagnoses Prostate Tumor Using Urine Sample

The diagnosis of prostate cancer using a non-invasive method and with greater accuracy than traditional diagnostic procedures is ever closer to becoming a reality. This has been confirmed by the data in a study which tested the efficacy of the first prototype of an electronic nose that can identify the presence of a tumor from a urine sample, by recognizing specific volatile molecules.

Novel Digital Morphology Analyzer Performance Evaluated

Microscopic examination of peripheral blood smear (PBS) is essential in clinical hematology laboratories. Manual counting is, however, inefficient because the process is technically demanding and labor-intensive resulting in long turnaround time (TAT), and the results may be subjective with inter-observer variation.

Revolutionary, Non-Invasive Technique Measures Glucose Levels Without Drawing Blood

Researchers have demonstrated a revolutionary, non-invasive technique for testing blood glucose levels, using electromagnetic (EM)-wave-based glucose sensor inserted under the skin. Their findings have attracted much attention, as it eliminates the need for patients with diabetes to constantly prick their fingers with a glucose meter. More...

Immunoassay, Mini Mass Spec Combined for Malaria Detection

Currently, several different technologies are available for diagnosing malaria, but each has drawbacks. PCR, for instance, is highly sensitive and specific, but it requires upfront sample processing and specialized equipment. While point-of-care and home PCR testing has come to market in recent years, these assays are quite expensive. More...

Biosensing Platform Combined with Machine Learning to Enable Minimally-Invasive Detection of Alzheimer's

A team of researchers led by Penn State (University Park, PA, USA) has received a USD 1.2 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA) to help fund a project to develop a machine learning system for early Alzheimer’s disease detection More...

Parallel Impedance Cytometry Screens Bacterial Cells in Real Time

Antibiotic-resistant infections are responsible for killing over a million people worldwide every year. Central to managing resistant infections is quickly identifying an appropriate treatment to which the infective bacteria are susceptible. Significant time is needed to determine the drug susceptibility profile of a bacterial infection. More...

‘Lab on a Chip’ Paves Way for Use of Portable Spectrometer in Biomedical Analysis

Scientists have developed a better tool to measure light, contributing to a field known as optical spectrometry and resulting in a powerful, ultra-tiny spectrometer that fits on a microchip and is operated using AI. The research involved a comparatively new class of super-thin materials known as two-dimensional semiconductors, and the upshot is a proof of concept for a spectrometer that could be readily incorporated into a variety of technologies – including biomedical analyzers, among others.
