Stanford’s New Ant-sized Radio Could Accelerate Massive Connectivity through the Internet of Things and Enable Real-time Medical Laboratory Testing

Micro-miniature intelligent radio devices are poised to revolutionize the connectivity of objects in ways that could open doors to new diagnostic devices to help pathologists detect disease In the future, both in vitro diagnostics and in vivo diagnostics will utilize ever-smaller devices. The shrinking size of these analytical devices will give pathologists and clinical laboratory scientists new tools to detect disease earlier, while monitoring patient with chronic conditions in real-time in...

$900 Point-of-Care DNA Nanopore Sequencer May Hit Market in Next 12 Months

Even small clinical pathology laboratories could afford this  new miniaturized gene sequencer Is the profession of pathology  and clinical laboratory medicine ready to deal with point-of-care DNA sequencing technologies? A company in the United Kingdom says that, as early as next year, it can bring a portable high-throughput unit to market that will sell for around US $900. Researchers at Oxford Nanopore Technologies Ltd. (ON) have developed new-generation sequencing technology that uses...
