Image: The inexpensive type-1 diabetes microchip test relies on fluorescence-based antibody detection. The innovation is that the glass plates forming the base of each microchip are coated with an array of nanoparticle-sized islands of gold, which intensify the fluorescent signal, enabling reliable antibody detection (Photo courtesy of Prof. Brian Feldman, Stanford University, and Nature Medicine).

Microchip Invented for Faster, Simpler Type-1 Diabetes Diagnosis, Risk Assessment, and Biomarker Discovery

Researchers have succeeded in developing a low-cost, portable, nanotech microchip-based test for diagnosing type-1 diabetes that would speed diagnosis and screening, and enable new approaches to studying how the disease develops. More...

Low-Cost Urine Filtration Helps Diagnose Schistosomiasis

Urogenital schistosomiasis, which is caused by Schistosoma haematobium, is diagnosed by finding the blood-borne flukes eggs in urine samples and simplifying sample preparation in the field before microscopy is vital for efficient and cost-effective diagnostic strategies in resource-constrained settings.   More...
