Implication of Biochips in Tuberculosis Diagnostics

Diagnostics of Molecular Markers in Childhood Acute Leukaemia Using Biochips

Biosensors, Nanosensors and Biochips: Frontiers in Environmental and Medical Diagnostics

This presentation describes three areas of research related to the development of biosensors, nanosensors and biochips for chemical, biological and medical analysis: (1) nanostructured plasmonics-based probes for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biochemical analysis, and (2) nanosensors for in vivo analysis of a single cell and (3) multifunctional biochips for medical diagnostics. INTRO...

Appropriate technology in tuberculosis diagnostics.

First, the statement that the use of the string test “will be hampered by the need for sputum induction” seems to be a misunderstanding: sputum induction added nothing to the results of the string test and was used only as a comparative test for this research. In fact, our findings clearly show that the string test alone offers better diagnostic sensitivity than sputum induction. By obviating t...

New Diagnostics for Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Point of care diagnostics for tuberculosis.

The goals of the End TB strategy, which aims to achieve a 90% reduction in tuberculosis (TB) incidence and a 95% reduction in TB mortality by 2035, will not be achieved without new tools to fight TB. These include improved point of care (POC) diagnostic tests that are meant to be delivered at the most decentralised levels of care where the patients make the initial contact with the health syste...
