A new technology to diagnose infections from bacteria and Covid-19 in minutes using a Sensit Smart, is what Pandey, R., Chang, D., Smieja, M. et al. from The McMaster University have developed. Read more about it in the article in Nature Chemistry or on the McMaster website.
QSM Diagnostics set out to create an electrochemical biosensor and reader that provides diagnostics right in the office, with results available by the next morning or even before your dog leaves the clinic. The instrument is both fast and extremely portable due to the embedded EmStat Pico form factor of 30 mm × 6 mm. Read more about QSM on the website of Analog Devices.
Point-of-care
Point-of-care tests are carried out in close proximity of a patient. There are many electrochemical sensor applications developed and under development to measure specific health indicators or even determine if a certain disease is present in a blood or saliva sample.
Rapid and precise detection of viruses in a point of care setting is critical for applying appropriate countermeasures. For example, glucose test strips and a handheld potentiostat can detect the influenza virus with high accuracy.
Electrochemical blood glucose sensors have proven to be of great value for diabetic patients worldwide. Electrochemistry is the go-to technique for portable and fast point-of-care applications.
PalmSens BV offers electrochemical interfaces in the form of several different modules for those who want to develop their own product line with additional features. We can also offer a market-ready reader that can be tailored for a specific point-of-care sensor, this reader can have a bespoke solution for any type of sensor.
