Posted on 03 Feb 2025

A groundbreaking medical device designed to purify and concentrate urine has the potential to revolutionize research and diagnosis of various health issues, including cancer.

Developed by Bee Robotics (based in Wales, UK) in collaboration with Bangor University (Gwynedd, UK), this prototype effectively processes urine to generate concentrated samples suitable for biological analysis. By collaborating with Bangor University, Bee Robotics was able to analyze and evaluate the automated procedure, resulting in more reliable test outcomes through the concentration and purification of urine samples. The automation aspect of this technology distinguishes it from traditional sample analysis methods, enabling faster processing times.

Complete automation minimizes the need for human involvement, marking a significant advancement in the diagnosis and research of various medical conditions. Although the research is still in its early phases, the scientific principles underlying the process have been a key focus for the team. Researchers intend to continue refining the methodology and advancing the prototype, which allows for sample concentration while minimizing inhibitors to improve the sensitivity of diagnostic tests.
