Swab Sample Transfer for Point-Of-Care Diagnostics: Characterization of Swab Types and Manual Agitation Methods
BACKGROUND The global need for disease detection and control has increased effort to engineer point-of-care (POC) tests that are simple, robust, affordable, and non-instrumented. In many POC tests, sample collection involves swabbing the site (e.g., nose, skin), agitating the swab in a fluid to release the sample, and transferring the fluid to a device for analysis. Poor performance in sample t...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of H1N1 influenza virus from throat swab samples in a microfluidic system for point-of-care diagnostics.
The ability to obtain sequence-specific genetic information about rare target organisms directly from complex biological samples at the point-of-care would transform many areas of biotechnology. Microfluidics technology offers compelling tools for integrating multiple biochemical processes in a single device, but despite significant progress, only limited examples have shown specific, genetic a...

Background and Objective: Cervical cancer involves many women annually and Pop smear test has played a significant role in reducing its mortality and for this reason, its improvement is very essential. In this respect, cervex brush is a new tool that has been introduced in many countries. Therefore, this...
متن کاملdevelopment of different optical methods for determination of glucose using cadmium telluride quantum dots and silver nanoparticles
a simple, rapid and low-cost scanner spectroscopy method for the glucose determination by utilizing glucose oxidase and cdte/tga quantum dots as chromoionophore has been described. the detection was based on the combination of the glucose enzymatic reaction and the quenching effect of h2o2 on the cdte quantum dots (qds) photoluminescence.in this study glucose was determined by utilizing glucose...
Sample Preparation for Point of Care Molecular Diagnostics of STIs
Brunel DoCLab is part of the esti 2 consortium developing electronic self-testing instruments for sexually transmitted infections using nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT). A proprietary sample collection device has been designed to integrate directly with a microfluidic cartridge. Cell lysis was conducted using a chemical method and nucleic acid purification was done on an activated cell...
