French Scientists Devise Ebola Detector Kit by Samgreguc(m): 11:04am On Oct 22, 2014 |
A new device similar to a simple pregnancy home-test could allow doctors to diagnose a patient with suspected Ebola in under 15 minutes, its French developers said today . Trials at a high-security lab have validated the technique and prototype kits should be available in Ebola-hit countries by the end of October for a clinical trial, France’s Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) said in a statement. The diagnostic tool, not yet approved by regulators, works by monoclonal antibodies reacting to the presence of virus in a tiny sample, which can be a drop of blood, plasma or urine, it said. . A European pharma company Vedalab is turning it into a user-friendly kit called Ebola eZYSCREEN. http://nationalmirroronline.net/new/french-scientists-devise-ebola-detector-kit/ |
