Automating Blood Smears Developed for Easier Malaria Diagnosis
Blood smears are used in diagnosis for a variety of hematological disorders, such as anemia and leukemia. They are also the preferred method of diagnosis of parasitic infections, such as malaria and filariasis in developing world laboratories. More...03 Feb 2022
High-Speed Fluorescence Image-Enabled Cell Sorting Tested
Cell sorting through flow cytometry is a technique that enables scientists to identify and sort individual cells based on specific characteristics of each cell in order to study them in more detail, evaluate how each cell may react to a new drug or perform other single cell studies. More...03 Feb 2022
Immuno-CRISPR Assay Helps Diagnose Early Kidney Transplant Rejection
When a patient receives a kidney transplant, doctors carefully monitor them for signs of rejection in several ways, including biopsy. However, this procedure is invasive and can only detect issues at a late stage. More...20 Jan 2022
MCDA-LFB Assay Developed for Rapid Detection of Legionnaires’ Disease
Legionella pneumophila is an opportunistic waterborne pathogen of significant public health problems, which can cause serious human respiratory diseases (Legionnaires’ disease). Legionnaires’ disease is characterized by severe lung infection symptoms, including severe pneumonia with a high fatality rate. More...18 Jan 2022
Nomograms Including Rapid Antigen Test Detects Primary Bladder Cancer
Urinary bladder cancer (BC) is the tenth most prevalent cancer affecting mainly the elderly and men. The suspicion of BC often arises after the detection of microscopic or macroscopic (gross) hematuria during a patient’s examination. More...04 Jan 2022
Benchtop Cell Sorter Validated in Biosafety Containment Setting
Fluorescent-activated cell sorting (FACS) is often the most appropriate technique to obtain pure populations of a cell type of interest for downstream analysis. The ability to sort pure populations of immune cells is a critical tool for immunologists. More...27 Dec 2021
3D Imaging Method Determines Prostate Cancer Aggressiveness
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer for men and, for men in the USA, and it is the second leading cause of death. Prostate cancer treatment planning is largely dependent upon examination of core-needle biopsies. The microscopic architecture of the prostate glands forms the basis for prognostic grading by pathologists. More...23 Dec 2021
