Molecule test

摘要

Researchers have developed a biosensor that uses antibodies to detect molecules in the body's fluids, so often indicative of disease. The Leeds University team claim the device could test for cancer and multiple sclerosis in 15 minutes. As well as being quick, the technology could be used to better inform GPs prior to hospital referrals. The technology was developed through a European collaboration of researchers and commercial partners in a €2.7m (￡2m) project called ElllSHA (Electro-Immunointerfaces and Surface Nanobiotechnology: A Heterodoxi-cal Approach).
