University of Notre Dame researchers develop a low-cost, rapid diagnostic tool for glioblastoma using electrokinetic technology.

Overview

  • The device uses a biochip to detect active EGFRs in extracellular vesicles from blood samples.
  • Tests can be completed in less than 60 minutes with high sensitivity and selectivity.
  • Each biochip costs under $2, making the test affordable and accessible.
  • The technology can potentially be adapted for other diseases such as pancreatic cancer and cardiovascular disorders.
  • Early detection through this method could improve survival rates for glioblastoma patients.
