Japan Researchers Develop Biosensor To Detect Disease Presence
This article was originally published in PharmAsia News
Executive Summary
Japanese researchers say they have developed a biosensor that advances the capability of identifying disease-related proteins. The joint work conducted by the Tokyo Institute of Technology and Canon showed the device was able to detect the diseases from blood samples that determine whether a protein binds to antibodies. The researchers say their test requires only seconds to produce results. In theory, at least, the biosensor could detect the presence of a single molecule.
