Researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a new handheld device that can scan for given biomarkers in around one hour , from a single drop of blood.
It’s built on an intriguing mechanism, which the team calls functional negative acoustic contrast particles ( fNACPs ) These cell-sized particles are designed to respond to pressure from sound waves, and can be coated with different materials so that they capture a specific biomarker, like viruses or proteins.
Fluorescent tags are then attached to the biomarkers and lit up with lasers, to calculate the amount present.
The whole process takes place in one small device in under 70 minutes .
