The team that first unveiled the rapid, inexpensive, highly sensitive CRISPR-based diagnostic tool called SHERLOCK has greatly enhanced the tool's power to work with a miniature paper test, similar to ...

A new paper-based rapid test for Zika virus could be a valuable tool for health workers in areas that don’t have access to more complicated diagnostic technology. It’s also sensitive enough to ...

Researchers from The Wyss Institute at Harvard University say they have created a low-cost paper diagnostic test to better detect the Zika Virus. Researchers say the test could help reduce the spread ...

Paper-based diagnostic tests such as rapid COVID-19 assays have broadened access to diagnostic tests beyond the lab. But historically, they have been limited to a binary readout: either yes or no. At ...

A low-cost paper diagnostic test may help reduce the spread of Zika virus, with the potential of halting viral transmission in the field within two to three hours. Specifically, scientists were able ...

Global health researchers are working on cheap systems like a home-based pregnancy test that might work for malaria, diabetes or other diseases. A new chemical technique makes medically interesting ...

Uncertainty and fear about coronavirus’ spread and the course of the illness is causing shockwaves in our daily lives. A simple paper test could provide answers to basic questions and shape a sensible ...
