Siemens sNfL Blood Test Predicts Risk of MS Disease Activity

The ADVIA Centaur serum Neurofilament Light Chain (sNfL) assay, developed by Siemens Healthineers (Erlangen, Germany) in collaboration with Novartis Pharma AG (Basel, Switzerland), quantitatively measures NfL in human serum and plasma. It is intended to be used in conjunction with clinical, imaging, and laboratory findings as an aid in identifying adult patients with Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis who are at lower risk versus higher risk of MS disease activity.

Novel System to Accelerate Development of New Diagnostic Tests

Researchers have developed a more generalizable approach to the creation of new tests, building a software tool capable of turning the reaction graphs into suggestions as to how chemical primers and reactions could be used to create the desired diagnostic results. The software which helps speed up the process of creating new diagnostic tests could help combat future pandemics, its developers say. More...
