Clinical laboratory managers and pathologists may see more testing shifting to point-of-care For years, advocates of carbon nanotubes have predicted that this technology can be used to improve the accuracy and speed of clinical laboratory tests. Researchers at Oregon State University (OSU) now report that they have improved the speed at which a carbon nanotube-based bio-sensor can complete a diagnostic analysis. Experts believe that advances in this area of technology will make it possible to...

Pathologists would gain new tool to diagnose cancer faster and more accurately, based upon stain-free analysis of tissue Reading tissue biopsies with a new stain-free method could eventually help pathologists achieve faster and less subjective cancer detection. Should this technology prove viable, it would also displace many of the longstanding tissue preparation methodologies used today in the histopathology laboratory. Credit a research team from the Beckman Institute at the University of...

Pathologists take note! In-car health management services are intended to further patient-centered healthcare If a smartphone can be configured to perform a medical laboratory test, then why can’t some clinical lab tests be performed by an automobile? Believe it or not, several car companies are preparing to introduce these types of features into their automobiles in coming years! First out of the box with the concept of “lab testing in an automobile” are carmakers Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F)...
