Researchers at Sandia have developed a portable microfluidic immunoassay device that makes it easier to detect proteins in biological samples. The device has the potential to help diagnose many infectious diseases, like influenza and bacterial pneumonia, by detecting key protein markers. It simplifies the testing process, provides fast results and can be used in outpatient clinics and areas with limited resources. The device is easy to use, even for healthcare workers with limited training, making healthcare more accessible, efficient and affordable.
