MEDICAL AND HEALTHCARE: Speedy diagnostics: Low-cost device for conditions such as Chlamydia returns results in just 30 minutes

摘要

A low-cost medical diagnostic device for conditions including Chlamydia and gonorrhoea is hoped to break the cycle of infection by returning results in 30 minutes. The automated device, developed by Dr Julien Reboud, a research fellow at Glasgow University's Division of Biomedical Engineering, can make a diagnosis with a small sample - such a finger prick of blood - and can be utilised by anyone without any specialist training.
