New technology can distinguish Ebola infected patients from other endemic febrile diseases (Photo courtesy of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases).

POC Diagnostic Differentiates Ebola from Endemic Febrile Diseases

Hemorrhagic fever outbreaks such as Ebola are difficult to detect and control because of the lack of low-cost, easily deployable diagnostics and because initial clinical symptoms mimic other endemic diseases such as malaria. More...

Rapid Malaria Diagnostic Test Detects Placental Infection

Malaria remains one of the most important parasitic infections in humans. It is endemic throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world and is responsible for more than 200 million clinical cases and more than 400,000 deaths each year. More...

The electrical signal of the resonator is analyzed through a vector network analyzer (VNA) to gather resonant profile for bacteria in different concentrations and environmental pH, and for long-term screening of their growth (Photo courtesy of the University of British Columbia).

Inexpensive Biosensor Provides Rapid Diagnosis of Bacterial Infections

Bacterial infection is a common problem throughout hospitals around the worlds. Every hour of delay in antibiotic treatment increases the mortality rate of patients by 7.6% with sepsis and septic shocks. More...

Ebola Test with Portable Reader Authorized for Emergency Use

Ebola is a rare but deadly virus that causes fever, body aches, and diarrhea, and sometimes bleeding inside and outside the body. As the virus spreads through the body, it damages the immune system and organs. Ultimately, it causes levels of blood-clotting cells to drop. This leads to severe, uncontrollable bleeding and kills up to 90% of people infected. More...

POC Immune Response Test Cleared for Europe

A single-use, disposable test identifies patients who have a clinically significant underlying infection and aids in the differentiation of viral and bacterial acute respiratory infection (ARI) through the rapid detection of both Myxovirus resistance protein A (MxA) and C-reactive protein (CRP).

Microsatellite Instability Assay Validated for Cancer Studies

Microsatellite instability (MSI) occurs when mismatch repair proteins (MMR) fail to fix a DNA replication error, leading to frame-shift mutations in a person's genetic code and non-functioning proteins. MSI has acted as a strong marker for genetic conditions such as Lynch syndrome that can lead to a variety of cancers. More...

Herpes Simplex Virus Assay, Sample-to-Answer Instrument Get FDA Clearance

Herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV2) is a widespread herpes virus, usually sexually transmitted and responsible for genital herpes. Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1) is a common virus life-long established in the peripheral nervous system. More...
