Detecting disease with a single molecule: Nanopore-based sensors could transform diagnostics
The sensor is a glass tube whose tip is melted into a sharp needle-like structure that is immersed in a liquid containing molecules. Credit: Kevin Freedman/ImageFX/UCR Scientists at the University of California, Riverside have developed a nanopore-based tool that can diagnose diseases much faster and more accurately than current tests by capturing signals from individual molecules. The molecules that scientists…
