New Technology Quickly Diagnoses Malaria

The gold standard for malaria diagnosis is manual microscopic evaluation of Giemsa stained blood smears; however, the utility of this approach is limited by the skill of an expert microscopist. Further, both the staining process and microscopic examination can be time consuming. More...

Nanofluidic Diffraction Grating Technique for DNA Amplification May Replace PCR

A team of Japanese biophysicists suggests replacing the RT-PCR (real time polymerase chain reaction) technique with a rapid label-free detection method for real-time DNA amplification using a nanofluidic diffraction grating. More...

POC Diagnostic Tool Introduced for Allergic Disorder Biomarker

Identifying patients with uncontrolled asthma mediated by immunoglobulin E remains an area of high unmet need and it is estimated that in Europe, more than 30 million people are affected by asthma, and approximately half of patients remain uncontrolled. More...

Image: The cantilever on the left bears the recognition sequence for the target mutation. If this is present in the sample being tested, the corresponding segment of RNA binds to the cantilever, causing the latter to bend. This can be measured, providing clear evidence that the genetic change is present (Photo courtesy of the University of Basel, Department of Physics).

Microcantilever-Based Sensor Detects BRAF-Mutated Malignant Melanoma

A novel nanosenor comprising minute cantilevers labeled with malignant melanoma-derived RNA enabled identification of patients with the BRAFV600E mutated form of the disease in less than 24 hours. More...
