The simplicity of urine sampling has been combined with the excellent sensing abilities of CRISPR to improve diagnostic testing for kidney transplant patients, an international research team reports in the journal Nature Biomedical Engineering. https://phys.org/news/2020-04-team-crispr-diagnostic.html Biotechnology Mon, 13 Apr 2020 11:00:04 EDT news505990385 (Phys.org)—Detecting whether a patient will have acute kidney injury could become as simple as dipping a paper test strip printed with gold nanorods into a urine sample, a team of Washington University in St. Louis researchers has found. https://phys.org/news/2012-11-proteins-kidney-disease.html Bio & Medicine Thu, 15 Nov 2012 06:46:39 EST news272184384 (PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers have invented a technique that uses inexpensive paper to make "microfluidic" devices for rapid medical diagnostics and chemical analysis. https://phys.org/news/2011-01-lab-on-chip-advance-low-cost-disposable-paper.html Analytical Chemistry Tue, 25 Jan 2011 15:13:30 EST news215190779 Scientists in Canada are reporting the development of a fast, inexpensive "dipstick" test to identify small amounts of pesticides that may exist in foods and beverages. Their paper-strip test is more practical than conventional pesticide tests, producing results in minutes rather than hours by means of an easy-to-read color-change, they say. https://phys.org/news/2009-11-inexpensive-dipstick-pesticides-foods.html Analytical Chemistry Wed, 04 Nov 2009 14:52:07 EST news176568700
