Imec and MiDiagnostics to Commercialize COVID-19 Breath Sampler
LEUVEN, Belgium, Oct. 25, 2021 — Imec, a research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technology, has signed a nonexclusive licensing agreement with miDiagnostics, a spinoff of imec in collaboration with Johns Hopkins University, to commercialize technology that captures aerosols and droplets from exhaled breath. The patented technology from imec screens for viral RNA through miDiagnostics’ ultrafast PCR capabilities. The proof-of-concept breath sampler developed by imec and miDiagnostics. Imec has
COVID-19 Test Detects Viral DNA in Minutes
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 16, 2020 — A new study published in ACS Nano shows a proof-of-concept study for a potentially more accurate COVID-19 diagnostic based on plasmonic photothermal sensing. Most COVID-19 testing kits rely on the sensitive method of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)....
sCMOS Cameras Examine Movements of Pathogens
Mar 11, 2014 — Researchers seek side-effect-free treatment for African sleeping sickness, and fast imaging technology plays a vital role in the effort. It’s an age-old epidemic, and it’s terrifyingly deadly: African sleeping sickness, or...
SERS, Nanoprobes Seek to Detect Infections Early
DURHAM, N.C., June 21, 2013 — Nanoprobes used in conjunction with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) can be used to reveal a specific molecular marker’s optical fingerprint. The work is a proof-of-principle approach to using light to detect infections before patients...
Supersensor Detects Single Virus Samples
NEW YORK, Aug. 27, 2012 — Exploiting an odd behavior of light boosts a biosensor platform’s sensitivity by nearly 70 times, allowing it to detect a single sample of the smallest known viruses.
Revealing How Cells Die
BUFFALO, N.Y., Aug. 27, 2010 — Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is essential to normal development, healthy immune system function and cancer prevention. The process dramatically transforms cellular structures, but the limitations of conventional microscopy methods have kept...
Laser-Triggered Nanoblasts Treat Cells
ATLANTA, Ga., July 29, 2010 — Using chemical "nanoblasts" that punch tiny holes in the protective membranes of cells, researchers have demonstrated a new technique for getting therapeutic small molecules, proteins and DNA directly into living cells. A field of human...
UV Light Fills in RNA Gaps
ATLANTA, Ga., June 15, 2010 — For scientists attempting to understand how the building blocks of RNA originated on Earth, guanine, the G in the four-letter code of life, has proven to be a particular challenge. While the other three bases of RNA — adenine (A), cytosine (C)...
Micronics Awarded 2 Microfluidics Patents
Sep 30, 2008 — Micronics Inc. of Redmond, Wash., a developer of molecular and immunohematology diagnostic tests, announced today that it has been issued two patents from the US Patent and Trademark Office for novel microfluidic devices and methods relating to the...
Hologic Acquiring Third Wave
BEDFORD, Mass., June 11, 2008 -- Medical imaging systems maker Hologic Inc. announced it will acquire Third Wave Technologies Inc. for $11.25 per share, or approximately $580 million. Madison, Wis.-based Third Wave develops molecular diagnostic reagents for DNA and RNA analysis...
Unidym Forms Bioscience Unit
MENLO PARK, Calif., Mar. 21, 2008 -- Carbon nanotube maker Unidym Inc. announced this week it has formed a spinoff, Ensysce Biosciences Inc., that will focus on research into medical applications of carbon nanotubes. Unidym, a majority-owned subsidiary of Arrowhead Research Corp.,...
Tiny Implantable Biocomputers Developed
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 22, 2007 -- A crucial step has been made toward building biological computers, tiny implantable devices that can monitor the activities and characteristics of human cells. The information provided by these "molecular doctors," constructed entirely of DNA, RNA...
Nanomotor Assessed for Treating AIDS, Cancer
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., Dec. 6, 2006 -- The National Institutes of Health recently awarded a multidisciplinary team $7 million over five years to study the potential use of a nanomotor -- a microscopic biological machine -- in diagnosing and treating diseases such as cancer, AIDS,...
Laser Detects Viruses in Under a Minute
ATHENS, Ga., Nov. 16, 2006 -- Using a technique called surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, researchers have developed a way to detect viruses such as the flu and HIV in under a minute. In addition to eliminating the day or more wait for test results from a doctor's office,...
New Biosensor Could Target, Kill Cancer Cells
SOCORRO, N.M., Oct. 12, 2006 -- A highly sensitive nucleotide sensor has been developed that uses the special light-emitting properties of some nanoparticles in analyzing and identifying individual components of single strands of DNA and RNA. Its creators said the sensor could be...
Biotech Startup Granted $1.65M for 'Molecular Beacon'
ATLANTA, July 31, 2006 -- A company co-founded by a Georgia Institute of Technology researcher has received a $1.65 million federal grant to develop and commercialize a nanoscale sensor called a “molecular beacon” for the detection and diagnosis of diseases including cancer....
Companies Collaborate on Gene-Expression Analysis
Feb 1, 2004 — California companies Affymetrix Inc. of Santa Clara and Arcturus Bioscience Inc. of Mountain View are working jointly to develop tools to enable gene-expression analysis on paraffin-embedded clinical biopsy samples. Arcturus' Paradise reagents can...
