This is especially pertinent in the field of companion diagnostics, in which the patient’s response to treatment such as antiviral drugs is monitored by measuring the changes in HIV or HCV viral loads35, 36. Furthermore, the platform’s compatibility with real-time signal acquisition renders it...
Earlier and improved case detection, including smear-negative disease, often associated with HIV co-infection, and expanded capacity to diagnose multidrug-resistant TB are global priorities for TB control. Conventional laboratory methods are slow and cumbersome. Hence, novel technologies for rapid ...
