Image: The nano-DLD chip (2 cm x 2 cm) mounted in a microfluidic jig. The technology allows a liquid sample to be passed, in continuous flow, through a silicon chip containing an asymmetric pillar array that allows sorting a microscopic waterfall of nanoparticles, separating particles by size down to 20 nanometer resolution (Photo courtesy of IBM Research).

Lab-on-a-Chip Technology Breaks New Bioparticle Separation Record

Scientists have developed a new lab-on-a-chip technology that can, for the first time, separate biological particles at the nanoscale down to 20 nanometers in diameter, a scale that gives access to important particles such as DNA, viruses, and exosomes. The breakthrough could enable detection of various diseases before symptoms appear and would facilitate use of relatively noninvasive liquid biopsies. More...

Interactive Video Gaming Device Could Aid MS Patients

A commonly used 3D depth-sensing camera could become a low-cost means of monitoring treatment effectiveness for walking difficulties of patients with gait-impairing diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). More...

Image: The new device emulates the interface between the endothelium and circulating blood, opening new doors to diagnosing blood clotting diseases caused by dysfunction or inflammation of endothelial cells, which line all blood vessels and influence the process of hemostasis (Image courtesy of the Wyss Institute at Harvard University).

Device Offers Potential for More Effective Blood Disorders Diagnostics

Researchers have developed a microfluidic device with fixed endothelial cells to mimic cellular and vascular flow conditions inside a patient’s body, which could help monitor blood clot formation, diagnose effectiveness of anti-platelet therapy, and prevent dysfunctional hemostasis. More...

HPV Test Approved for Use with SurePath Preservative Fluid

Human papilloma virus (HPV) infections are the most common sexually transmitted infections in the USA, and HPV genotypes 16 and 18 cause approximately 70 % of cervical cancers worldwide. According to the National Cancer Institute, there will be an estimated 12,990 new cases and 4,120 deaths from cervical cancer in the USA during 2016. More...

Microneedle Sampling and Analysis System for Painless Drug Monitoring

A microneedle sampling and analysis system was shown to accurately measure levels of the drug vancomycin in the interstitial fluid with results comparable to those obtained by classical blood testing. More...
