Multichannel Optical Biosensor May Detect Cancer

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Email
An eight channel smartphone spectrometer has been developed that can detect human interleukin-6 (IL-6), a known biomarker for lung, prostate, liver, breast and epithelial cancers. Unlike current smartphone spectrometers, which are used to monitor or measure one sample at a time, the multichannel smartphone spectrometer (MSS) can optically analyze several samples simultaneously, adding to its potential value as a high-throughput device. Washington State University researchers have developed a low-cost, portable laboratory on a smartphone that can analyze several samples at once to catch...Read full article
