A simple test kit that tests for many diseases biomarkers A team led by scientists at the University of Leeds has developed a biosensor technology that uses antibodies to detect biomarkers - molecules in the human body which are often a marker for disease - much faster than current testing methods. "We've designed simple instrumentation to make the biosensors easy to use and understand," says Dr Paul Millner from the Faculty of Biological Sciences at the University of Leeds. "They'll work in a format similar to the glucose biosensor testing kits that diabetics currently use." ... more
