Lab-On-A-Chip Rapidly Screens for Variety of Cancer Markers (VIDEO)
[IMG]http://cdn.medgadget.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/na**chip.jpg[/IMG] Early detection of cancer, and specifically the ability to screen for biomarkers in whole blood, may one day revolutionize oncology by focusing on stopping the disease at its initial stages even before tumors develop or symptoms show up. Researchers at the*Institute of Photonic Sciences in*Barcelona, Spain managed to bring together a number of **vel*tech**logies to create a Lab-On-A-Chip device that can simultaneously screen for a Variety of protein Cancer Markers without molecular labeling. [IMG]http://cdn.medgadget.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/gold-na**particles.jpg[/IMG]The method relies on gold na**particles attached to antibodies that target specific proteins. These complexes sit inside tiny volumes into which blood is pumped in. By using*localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPR), the technique by which light is used to vibrate*a metal at the na** scale, the chip is able to detect whether a gold na**particle has stuck to its target protein. Here’s video with the researchers presenting*the new device: Study in Na** Letters: LSPR Chip for Parallel, Rapid, and Sensitive Detection of Cancer Markers in Serum… Press release: An ultra-sensitive na**-chip for early cancer detection… ??????? ??????: Lab-On-A-Chip Rapidly Screens for Variety of Cancer Markers (VIDEO) || ??????: rss || ??????: اسم منتداك
