10 Minute Test Diag**ses Ebola, Dengue, Yellow Fever
10 Minute Test Diag**ses Ebola, Dengue, Yellow Fever
 Ebola is continuing to infect people in the West Africa, but current testing techniques for the disease still take too much time. A new paper strip diag**stic device developed at MIT can spot Ebola, as well as dengue and Yellow fever, simultaneously within ten minutes. Using lateral flow tech**logy, the device works much like a pregnancy Test strip. Three different kinds of silver na**particles are used, each type having antibodies for a specific disease attached to them. When blood is passed through the strip the target viral proteins latch onto their matching antibodies and pull up the silver na**particles.*The color of the Test strip identifies the viral infection that the patient has. Hopefully this easy to use tech**logy can lead to fewer*people being infected and can help those that have the virus to*receive earlier*care. From the study in Lab on a Chip: Rapid point-of-care (POC) diag**stic devices are needed for field-forward screening of severe acute systemic febrile illnesses. Multiplexed rapid lateral flow diag**stics have the potential to distinguish among multiple pathogens, thereby facilitating diag**sis and improving patient care. Here, we present a platform for multiplexed pathogen detection using multi-colored silver na**plates. This design requires ** external excitation source and permits multiplexed analysis in a single channel, facilitating integration and manufacturing.Study in Lab on a Chip: Multicolored silver na**particles for multiplexed disease diag**stics: distinguishing dengue, yellow fever, and Ebola viruses… MIT:*Simple paper strip can diag**se Ebola and other fevers within 10 minutes… The post 10 Minute Test Diag**ses Ebola, Dengue, Yellow Fever appeared first on Medgadget. ??????? ??????: 10 Minute Test Diag**ses Ebola, Dengue, Yellow Fever || ??????: rss || ??????: اسم منتداك
