Hybrid Sensor Paves Way for Lab-on-a-Chip for Blood Testing and Cancer Detection
Researchers have developed a nanophotonic-microfluidic sensor that marks an important step towards creating a compact ‘lab-on-a-chip’ device capable of not only performing a whole set of blood tests but detecting cancer biomarkers at an early stage using a very small amount of the patient’s blood More...20 Jun 2022
Multiplex Immunoassays Enable Quantification of Malaria Antigens
The standard of care for malaria diagnosis is blood smear microscopy and antigen detection through rapid diagnostic test (RDT). Microscopy has limitations in terms of difficulty in identifying mixed infections and RDTs are more amenable for the diagnosis of malaria in settings with limited laboratory infrastructure. More...16 Jun 2022
LIMS Platform with Mixed Reality Tech for Hands-Free Execution of Lab Procedures
A modern LIMS integrated with a mixed reality software solution allows laboratories to digitize their lab processes, freeing lab technicians from paper notes and laptops to manage workflows more efficiently and reduce errors. More...15 Jun 2022
