Alzheimer's Disease Biomarker Assay Heading for IVD Status

A clinical diagnostic kit that measures the concentration of the Alzheimer's disease blood biomarker APOEepsilon4 was unveiled at the Alzheimer’s Association Conference held in London, United Kingdom, from July 16-20, 2017. More...

Portable Device Finds Sepsis Infection Markers

A new portable device can quickly find markers of deadly, unpredictable sepsis infection from a single drop of blood, which is the first to provide rapid, point-of-care measurement of the immune system's response, without any need to process the blood. More...

Mass Spectrometry Detection for the Masses

Researchers are developing a plasma-based technology to enable generalized use of mass spectrometry (MS) with new instruments that can analyze a much broader range of molecular species than current technology allows. More...

Yeast-Based Tool Developed for Pathogen Detection

The monitoring of global pathogen burden has been traditionally limited to a small number of specialized centers, but more effective detection could be performed in real time by making accurate diagnostics accessible at the point of care. More...

Novel Microscope Scans Tumors and Examines Biopsies

Current pathology techniques involve processing and staining tissue samples, embedding them in wax blocks, slicing them thinly, mounting them on slides, staining them, and then viewing these two-dimensional tissue sections with traditional microscopes, which can take days. More...

Image: Microfluidic bioassay devices are currently the preferred diagnostic tools. They measure concentration of disease biomarkers within a patient sample, such as blood, which is passed across a surface containing immobilized bioreceptors to capture the biomarker. They can indicate the likelihood of a disease based on presence/absence or based on comparison of the biomarker concentration in the sample relative to the normal body level (Image courtesy of Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University).

Miniature Technology May Improve Disease Detection

Researchers have developed an improved microcontact printing technology to create an optimal disease diagnostic device of bioreceptor arrays for multiplexed microfluidic assays. More...
