Singapore's new laboratory test liver poisoning takes only 1 hour
According to foreign media reports, cancer patients after receiving chemotherapy, if the doctor wants to check whether the patient's liver has adverse reactions or damage and other side effects of chemotherapy, it is now necessary to use a puncture needle to remove the liver biopsy to test, the process will take one week to two week. Singaporean scientists have successfully developed an assay that can measure liver toxicity as fast as one hour. The patient's waiting time for the test results is significantly shortened, allowing them to receive further treatment as soon as possible. A research group consisting of researchers from Nanyang Technological University, the Singapore Institute of Technology and Research (A*STAR), and a researcher at the Houston Methodist Hospital Research Institute. Hepatic toxicity tester. The assay is currently in the experimental phase and is expected to be available for clinical use for four to five years. The newly developed assay prototype looks like a syringe and is only the size of a palm. The laboratory, described as a lab-in-a-needle, is still being improved, and the research team hopes to shorten the waiting time for detection to half an hour and improve its accuracy. The assay consists mainly of two chips, one of which uses microfluidic technology to take the patient's blood sample and clean the sample, and the other chip to test the sample. Researcher and professor of the Nanda Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Zhang Jianxue said: "The new method we developed not only significantly saves the time, labor and economic costs required for testing, but its accuracy also reaches the high level of existing liver toxicity testing." The research team has applied for a patent for the tester, and it is known on the market that there is no such assay that can combine all the test procedures. The laboratory improvement is intended for clinical use and is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.
