Researchers at IBM develops new diagnostic tool

17 November 2009

Researchers at IBM have developed a unique one-step diagnostic tool that requires very less amount of fluid and can detect multiple diseases and cardiovascular diseases. The technique is based on silicon chip and the results obtained during the analysis are very accurate and the output can be seen immediately for predicting the patient’s condition and accordingly the doctor can decide the new course of action to save the life of the patient.

The newly developed diagnostic tests use a capillary force to analyze the protein markers that are the characteristics of the diseases. Using the capillary action, a small quantity of blood or serum sample is required for diagnostic materials. 

The researchers has used the capillary force action and encoded it on a silicon chip. The chip is similar to the one used in computer, where the serum or blood sample is passed through the micrometer wide channels and if required the speed of the sample is adjusted. The sample analysis is carried out in five stages and IBM researchers took several years for developing the technique.
