Sample-Free Detection of Blood Biomarkers via Laser-Treated SkinTuesday, 22 March 2016 at 15:00  Add to Calendar ▼2016-03-22 15:00:002016-03-22 16:00:00Europe/LondonSample-Free Detection of Blood Biomarkers via Laser-Treated SkinSELECTBIOenquiries@selectbiosciences.comThe circulatory system is the center for coordination and communication of all organs in our body. Monitoring any changes in its analytes and biomarkers could offer sufficient and timely point-of-care diagnosis. We will present how illumination of a tiny area of the skin with hemoglobin-preferably absorbent laser can increase the amount of circulating biomarkers in the upper dermis by more than 1,000-fold. When specific probe-coated microneedle arrays are applied into the laser-treated skin, the plasma biomarkers accumulated in the upper dermis can be reliably, accurately, and sufficiently captured as early as 15-30 min of the assay in a manner independent of a molecular mass of the biomarkers. The novel, minimally invasive approach may allow engineering small wearable devices for measuring multiple biomarkers simultaneously for point-of-care diagnosis. |
