  2. 1. Centrifugal microfluidics-based point of care diagnostics at resource limited settings

    Author : Ahmad Saleem Akhtar; Aman Russom; Ines Fernandes Pinto; Nicole Pamme; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; microfluidics; centrifugal microfluidics; point-of-care; low-cost; diagnostics; agarose beads; immunoassays; colorimetry; fluorescence; cytokines; nucleic acid amplification; isothermal amplification; COVID-19; portable; smartphone; resource limited settings.; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

    Abstract : Advancements in medical diagnostics have allowed us to understand the underlying mechanism and treat the root cause for many diseases which had been causing morbidity and mortality up until this point in human history. Furthermore, many of the standard diagnostic procedures have now been transformed to provide answers at or near the point-of-care. READ MORE

    Abstract : The development of point of care diagnostics using recent advances in microfluidics have the potential to transform health care in several ways, especially in resource limited settings with limited access to advanced health care infrastructure. However, translating a point of care device to reality is often a challenging task because of the complexities involved in integrating a number of diverse engineering concepts into an easy to use, accurate and portable device.
