Objective: This study was done to assess the accuracy of Accutrend GCT meter in determining blood cholesterol levels in our setup, with an aim to recommend its use in clinical practice Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted on... more
While developing an effective vaccine can take months up to years, detection of infected patients seems like one of the best ideas for controlling the situation. The role of biosensors in containing highly pathogenic viruses, saving lives... more
The field of centrifugal microfluidics has experienced tremendous growth during the past 15 years, especially in applications such as lab-on-a-disc (LoD) diagnostics. The strength of LoD systems lies in its potential for development into... more
Bringing a diagnostic point of care test (POCT) to a healthcare market can be a painful experience as it requires the manufacturer to meet considerable technical, financial, managerial, and regulatory challenges. In this opinion article... more
We assessed xurography and laser ablation for the manufacture of passive micromixers arrays to explore the scalability of unconventional manufacture technologies that could be implemented under the restrictions of the Point of Care for... more
Despite the growth of research in universities on point-of-care (POC) diagnostics for global health, most devices never leave the laboratory. The processes that move diagnostic technology from the laboratory to the field-the processes... more
Recent infectious disease outbreaks, such as COVID-19 and Ebola, have highlighted the need for rapid and accurate diagnosis to initiate treatment and curb transmission. Successful diagnostic strategies critically depend on the efficiency... more
Oasis Diagnostics has developed two products to address the need for providing a saliva sample for use in final quantitative analysis of relevant biological analytes in a Point-of-Care (POC) or Point–of-Use (POU) environment. The first... more
Point-of-care (POC) and disposable biomedical applications demand low-power microfluidic systems with pumping components that provide controlled pressure sources. Unfortunately, external pumps have hindered the implementation of such... more
The overall goal of this research is to develop a new point-of-care system for early detection and characterization of cardiac markers to aid in diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome. The envisioned final technology platform incorporates... more
In order to satisfy an emergent demand in point of care (POC) diagnostics as well as low resource settings such as in developing countries, we have integrated optical and bio-medical engineering to implement a device, which detects... more
Hemin–Au@Ag–graphene oxide, a quaternary nanocomposite employed as an efficient peroxidase mimetic for ultrasensitive detection of hydrogen peroxide and glucose.
New tools are needed to enable rapid detection, identification, and reporting of infectious viral and microbial pathogens in a wide variety of point-of-care applications that impact human and animal health. We report the design,... more
ABSTRACT Point Of Care (POC) Diagnostics from Bench to Market Ali Karami Research Centre of Molecular Biology, Baqiyatallah University of Medical Sciences. Karami@bmsu.ac.ir Point-of-care test (POC) also known as bedside, near-patient... more
Microfluidic, cellular co-cultures that approximate macro scale biology are important tools for refining the in vitro study of organ level function and disease. In recent years, advances in technical fabrication and biological integration... more
Fungal diseases of plants are of great economic importance causing 70–80% of crop losses associated with microbial plant pathogens. Advanced on-site disease diagnostics is very important to maximize crop productivity. In this study,... more
Staphylococcus aureus is closely ass ociated with f ood poisoni ng inci dences, more, becaus e of i nt oxication due to contamination of food with its enterotoxins. Staphylococcus enterotoxin A (SEA) i s highl y r es is tant to heat and... more
Background The diagnosis of cystic echinococcosis (CE) is based primarily on imaging, in particular with ultrasound for abdominal CE, complemented by serology when imaging results are unclear. In rural endemic areas, where expertise in... more
