Handheld electrochemical sensors have revolutionized at-home medical testing for diabetics, but they have not yet been successfully applied to diagnosing other conditions. These sensors are based on the activity of an enzyme, and there are only a limited number of enzymes that can be used to detect biomarkers of human disease. An alternative, much more...| Wyss Institute
By Benjamin Boettner This video explains the basic principles of eRapid as an electrochemical sensing platform, and how it could be used for low-cost, multiplexed detection of a wide range of biomolecules for diagnostic applications.
