Abstract

Multiplexed Infectious Disease Testing - Sound Point-of-Care Diagnostics

Jonathan Cooper, Wolfson Professor and University Vice Principal, Glasgow University

We have developed a new technology which enables us to shape acoustic fields and tailor their interaction with fluids. We have now demonstrated the concept on a range of medical diagnostics, from in vivo glucose sensing to molecular assays, enabling sample preparation, reagent actuation and sensing. We currently have a range of projects exploring multiplexed clinical testing for malaria, tuberculosis and sexually transmitted diseases, with NHS partners.
