Stroke diagnosis with lab-on-a-chip

Med Device Technol. 2009 Sep;20(5):15-7.

Abstract

A magnetic-based sensing platform with increased sensitivity has been developed for integration into lab-on-a-chip systems. The methodology consists of moving the magnetic particles to the most sensitive spot of the sensor. To demonstrate its effectiveness, the protein S100betabeta, a diagnostic marker for stroke, was used as target protein.
