Image: Schematics of the magnetic particle quantification (MPQ) platform:  the antigen is the test protein (e.g., PSA). MP is the magnetic nanoparticle; the upside down Y is the antibody to the test protein. The test antibodies (the blue Ys) capture the test protein, and the control antibodies (the yellow Ys) capture the antibodies with the nanoparticles (Photo courtesy of Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology).

Biosensor Test System Developed Using Magnetic Nanoparticles

A new biosensor test system based on magnetic nanoparticles has been developed and it is designed to provide highly accurate measurements of the concentration of protein molecules in various samples, including opaque solutions or strongly colored liquids.  More...

Immunochromatographic Test Evaluated to Diagnose Schistosomiasis

The Kato-Katz stool smear is the standard test for the diagnosis of Schistosoma mansoni infection but suffers from low sensitivity when infections intensities are moderate to low and therefore, misdiagnosed individuals remain untreated and contribute to the disease transmission.  More...
