Lab-On-A-Chip Designed to Minimize Preterm Births

In the USA, a half million babies are born preterm; worldwide, the number is an estimated 15 million and complications associated with preterm birth are the number one cause of death for children under five, and those who live often face a range of health problems. More...

High-Res Imaging Obtained with Conventional Microscopes

Researchers have developed a technique for obtaining high-resolution images of tissue samples with confocal microscopes, at a fraction of the cost of other techniques that offer similar resolution. This level of resolution allowed them to see, for example, proteins that cluster together in complex patterns at brain synapses. More...

New sPCR Technology Runs on Standard Devices

Synergistic PCR (sPCR), a new method of DNA analysis developed for use on a new high-speed assay device, can also be carried out on widely available laboratory real-time PCR (qPCR) instruments and does not require calibration. More...

Diagnosis of CF Simplified by Sweat Sensor Device

A wristband-type wearable sweat sensor that measures calcium and glucose levels and transmits the data to a central laboratory is expected to simplify the current diagnostic method for cystic fibrosis (CF). More...

Hand-Held Test Kit Developed for Chemotherapy Patients

Chemotherapy often reduces blood cell counts, exposing patients to infections, anemia and other problems. Low blood counts, when discovered, are also the major cause of delayed treatment or reduced treatment dosage. The normal procedure has been for a patient to turn up at the hospital and take a blood test before undergoing treatment, but in 20% of cases they were being sent home because their blood counts were too low.

Drones to Optimize Exchange of Samples between Hospitals

Switzerland is slated to become one of the first countries in the world to introduce the use of drones for routine transport of medical samples between hospitals. More...

Biosensor Chips Identify Antibiotic Treatment Faster

Bacterial infections are still a major cause of death in the Western world, and because of over and mistreatment antibiotics resistant bacterial stains are increasing every day. In the UK, it is estimated that 300,000 patients a year acquire infections in hospital, with over 9,000 dying from bacterial infections. More...
