USB stick HIV test promises results in 30 minutes
Quote:
Researchers from Imperial College London and DNA Electronics have developed an HIV test on a USB stick that could make it easier for patients to monitor their health.
[...]The team also claims the technology can produce a result in 30 minutes or less.[...]
[...]Here's how it works: You place a blood sample onto a spot on the USB stick. If the virus is detected, the acidity levels change, which the built-in mobile chip turns into an electrical signal. The USB stick receives this information and can transmit it to a computer, laptop or other device.
The idea is that patients would be able to monitor their viral levels similar to how a diabetic checks blood sugar. The technology is still in development, but you can read more about the study here.
