A highly sensitive carbon nanotube-based sensor capable of detecting multidrug-resistant myeloid leukemia cells even when present at very low concentration of 10 cells per ml has been fabricated by Delhi-based…
Three cheap, filter-based kits developed by a multi-institutional team and an industry partner improves the sensitivity of LED fluorescence microscopy by 5%, enable transport of sputum samples at ambient conditions…
IIT Hyderabad researchers have fabricated a a microfluidic device that can detect cardiac biomarker cardiac troponin I over a wide range. The microfluidic device can detect the biomarker even when…
The blood biochemical parameters — lipid profile (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglycerides), plasma glucose, insulin, HbA1c, urea, and creatinine — of Indian adolescents were measured in a large study…
While India has set a highly ambitious target of “eliminating TB by 2025”, modelling studies published today say incidence and mortality will reduce by just 57% and 72% respectively by…
IIT Hyderabad researchers have fabricated a low-cost, ultra-sensitive device that is capable of detecting the cardiac biomarker troponin T protein. Compared with the current limit of detection, the bioelectrode was able…
IIT Roorkee researchers have identified certain proteins found in saliva that can be used as potential biomarkers indicative of breast and ovarian cancer metastasis. The composition and expression of salivary…
CCMB researchers have fabricated a paper-based microfluidic device for rapid determination of lipid profile. Cholesterol and triglycerides can be detected in less than eight minutes and only 10 microlitre of…
