Microchip Detect Cancer Early
TORONTO, the new breakthrough scientists continue to be developed in order to detect cancer early. The latest findings of scientists who developed Canada in this field resulted in a microchip that is sensitive enough to detect the type and level of cancer.
Although categorized as high-tech skills, without mentioning the price range of scientists claim to be a sophisticated device is quite affordable.
Times of India, Friday (2/10/2009) launch, a microchip has been successfully tested in detecting various examples of prostate cancer, head and neck. This device can also be used to diagnose other types of cancer and infectious diseases such as HIV and H1N1 flu.
In developing these microchips, scientists from the University of Toronto using nano materials for the first time to build a microchip sensitivity capabilities. This new device will make molecular diagnostic methods become more sophisticated and easily available.
"Innovation is an indication that the era of nano treatment has begun," said Professor David Naylor of the University of Toronto.
Naylor added, this device quickly lifting bio markers or biomarkers that be a clue that the presence of cancer is generally presented at low levels in biological samples.
The results of the analysis will be completed in 30 minutes. This process is much faster when compared with the analysis method by using a commonly used today.
"Today, computers take part in evaluating samples of clinical cancer biomarker," said Naylor.
