Video: Rapid diagnostics get faster with magnetic microbead mixing
Magnetic particle mixing can have significant implications for future diagnostic testing devices.
Better cleaning at food processors with swab test
ATP monitoring and microbiological enumeration can verify and improve the efficacy of cleaning and sanitation practices.
What is healthcare engineering?
Some examples of healthcare engineering.
NIST tests biopharmaceutical quality control method
The method detects multiple types of potential impurities in biopharmaceutical products with a single-step test.
New mask can diagnose wearers with COVID-19
The mask can be used to detect the virus or to determine if the wearer has encountered the virus.
Use Legos and cheap lenses to build this microscope
Plans for the fully functional and inexpensive instrument are open source.
Video: Graphene sensor images electrical activity of beating heart
The advanced sensor images electrical signals from living cells and tissue in real time.
Watch a new imaging technique capture brain movement
Pulsating motions of the brain can be viewed and analyzed in real-time.
Virus-detecting microscope could power rapid diagnostics
The fast, low-cost technique counts viruses or proteins from a sample in real time, without any chemicals or dyes.
Membrane traps viruses from air and water
The membrane filters and inactivates a variety of viruses in either medium.
Water treatment technology for use on Earth and Mars
A catalyst that reduces perchlorate in water could also remove the pollutant from Martian soil.
New sealed encoders for metrology
The linear encoders are ideal for high-end metrology on or off the shop floor.
Fiber optic imaging probe to advance nanoscale diagnostics
A compact ultrasonic imaging tool can be deployed on the tip of a single optical fiber to visualize cell abnormalities in 3D within the body.
E-nose sniffs out cancer
A non-invasive diagnostic system combines artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect cancer.
Sensor system takes temperature trends in Greenland glacier
The fiber optic cable-based method provides a clearer picture of changes in the world's second largest ice sheet.
Video: Speeding medical diagnostics with 3D-printed devices
Advanced diagnostic assays, such as the classic pregnancy and COVID-19 self-tests, can be produced quickly and at low cost.
Coffee and bees and dogs, oh my! A recap of unusual COVID-19 tests
A recap of unusual methods developed to diagnose COVID-19.
A one-second COVID-19 test
The electrochemical device uses disposable test strips and a reusable semiconductor transistor platform.
Onsite treatment approach removes toxins from wastewater
A filtration system has been designed to combat the release of 1,4-dioxane from onsite wastewater treatment systems to groundwater
Bacteria detection device could make cleaner food processing plants
During food production, routine cleaning and surface sanitation are key to preventing microbial contamination in end food products. But the human eye can only do so much to determine if a surface is clean enough.
