Scientists have implemented an accurate, low-cost and easy-to-use test for detecting toxic levels of fluoride in water. The new biosensor device has been field tested in rural Kenya, providing ...

Handheld saliva test detects breast cancer and even identifies its type, University of Florida researchers say. The device uses glucose test strips and transmits its findings to a smartphone via ...

An international team of researchers has developed a handheld, non-invasive device that can detect biomarkers for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Diseases. The biosensor can also transmit the results ...

Schematic of a generic biosensor architecture. The target analyte interacts with an immobilized bioreceptor layer, and the resulting molecular recognition event is translated by a physico-chemical ...

For decades, checking blood sugar meant the same routine: a lancet, a test strip, a drop of blood, and a number that told you ...

A handheld device appears to have real promise in using saliva samples to diagnose breast cancers The 'biosensor' detects certain biomarkers in saliva that are unique to breast cancer More work must ...

We've heard about a number of experimental skin-worn biosensors, which analyze the wearer's sweat to monitor everything from stress to blood glucose levels. Well, athletes can now actually buy one of ...

Scientists from Northwestern University have collaborated on the implementation of an accurate, low-cost, and easy-to-use test for detecting toxic levels of fluoride in water. The new biosensor device ...

An international team of researchers has developed a handheld, non-invasive device that can detect biomarkers for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases. The biosensor can also transmit the results ...
