Printable tool enables sensitive diagnostic testing

(Duke University) Biomedical engineers at Duke University have created a portable diagnostic tool that can detect telltale markers of disease as accurately as the most sensitive tests on the market, while cutting the wait time for results from hours or even days to 15 minutes. By creating a sensitive, easy-to-use 'lab on a chip,' the researchers plan to bring rapid diagnostic testing to areas that lack access to standard lab-based diagnostic technologies.
