Jan. 23, 2024 – A blood test that’s already commercially available is nearly as accurate as more invasive tests like spinal taps at detecting potential signs of Alzheimer’s disease, a new study shows. The test looks for a protein in the blood called p-tau217, and the independent resear...
In order to develop a practical chip for diagnostic tests, anti-C-reactive protein antibody was continuously ejected using a piezoelectric injector and microdeposition was monitored on a shot-by-shot basis using a 30MHz quartz crystal microbalance. Background noise due to external sources such as ...
Heating in microfluidic systems typically involves direct contact between the chip and the heat sources, such as external Peltier heating units or integrated thin-film heaters. These methods can rapidly heat the test sample but consume high power. Additionally, the contact-based heating elements ...
