Tuberculosis diagnosis is a routine one now although specific test doesn’t work for kids or people with HIV/AIDS and others who scuffles to cough. For their rescue, a team of medical researchers have developed a new and hassle-free test to fill the gap. A Stanford medical team have developed a prototype device for detecting tuberculosis that is fairly straight forward in its approach and is universal in application.
The device searches for signs of tuberculosis in blood plasma and urine samples, by obtaining as pure a sample of DNA as possible, circumventing the requirement to cough on command. The device would take advantage of the fact that DNA and other molecules extracted in the blood plasma and urine have different electric charges, also when placed in an electric field, the molecules move at variable speeds. In addition to this, the device has no moving accessories and consumes…
